Hello and thank you for your question. It seems that the 3rd and 4th clutches inside the transmission are slipping. This is the reason why you are hearing a ticking noise under the transmission and it seems to not shift correctly. The lower gears and 2nd gear tends to work good for it was probably not used as much for when driving.
Most of the time when people drive their vehicles, they put the shifter into drive and leave it. When driving in town, this can cause problems with the 4th gear clutch and also the 3rd and 4th clutch for when towing something. If you’d like to have this taken care of, I recommend having a qualified professional inspect the slipping issue and pinpoint needed repairs.
