Overdrive Problem

I have an automatic V6 1988 Camaro and I’m having a little problem. I just had a tune up and an entire lube job and my car is still acting up. When I accelerate I can fell the car going through the gears up until I reach about sixty. When I reach sixty the RPM's drop down to 1500 even with my foot to the floor. I try taking my foot of the gas and stomping on it with no luck. I tried pumping the gas with no luck. I find myself having to put a pint of trans fluid in every week. I can't find a leak, so i don't know where the trans fluid is going. Even when the tran is full of fluid it still doesn't work. I was told it might be a cracked flexplate, and someone told me to adjust my TV cable. Does anyone have any idea how to correct this problem.

Try posting on the transmission board. You would get a better response there. Try putting a piece of cardboard under the tranny, my bet is it is leaking from the speedometer cable.
