Murari...
      Your transmission has no electrical features and for this you should
be thankful.  I would guess you might have a governor or throttle valve
problem.  The governor sits on top left of the differential about under the
master cylinder & is removed by removing its cover which is held by 2 10mm
bolts.  Just pull the cover off, pull the governor out & you should see 1
brass gear with all its teeth straight & not chewed, 1 each centrifugal
weight, spring & bb sized ball bearing, and 2 holes w/ very small drillings
that should be perfectly clean.  If all is well, just put the governor &
cover back where they came from.  The relative rotational location of the
gear is unimportant.
       The throttle valve in the transmission (tells the transmission how
late to shift based on the location of the throttle which is responding to
your foot) is operated by a linkage and rod which runs diagonally down the
drivers side of the engine block from the throttle to the transmission.
Most of these linkages have not been pampered with even 1 drop of oil
during their long and faithful careers and if one happens to come apart
before it reaches the promised land the transmission will think strange
thoughts and dream strange dreams.
       Another thought is to go to a couple of transmission shops for a
road test and try to develop a consensus of opinion.
