Do you still have reverse?

Since you state that your speed maxes out at around 40mph, I assume that your speedometer is working which means that your VSS is working. A malfunctioning VSS could cause the transmission to not shift out of 1st gear.

It is possible that the Shift Solenoid B has failed. This can be replaced with only dropping the transmission oil pan. There are a few other things that it could be as well so proper diagnosis should be done to confirm the true problem.
