It goes up to around 2900 rpm or 3000 jerks then stops accelerating even if I press on the gas

It could be slipping in gear. You don't mention mileage on engine/tranny. If it's high, you may want to take car in and have diagnostics run on tranny, and see if it's working in all gears. It sounds like you lost your top gear or overdrive.
