Hi,
i have a 1996 Avalon (Automatic) with 95K.
These days it seems that its RPM is high.
When at 40-45 MPH speed it is around 2000. And when speed reaches at 65+, rpm reaches 3000+(i think it should stay near 2000 mark). What could be the issue? Is it that gears are not shifting properly?
Or somemaintenance needs to be done.

Clutch could be slipping-check the mass airflow/throttle position sensors
