when i'm cruising in my t type it shifts at about 3 grand but under hard acceleration it winds out to about 6 or 7 grand. what could it be?

Provided no recent work has been done to the transmission and you do have the proper valve body and governor, my guess is that your governor spat out a spring. See http://www.drwtransmission.com/thm_200-4r.htm (well down the page) for a look at a TR governor. It is not exactly like the governor in any other 200-4R, so you won't find the governor/spring just anywhere.

Could also be something binding up a piston in the pressure circuit.
