my 93 did this and from what i figured out is my computer is not sending the proper signals on telling what solenoid to do what and it goes into like a limp mode. also another issue i would have randomly is my ign/gau fuse kept blowing which would also cause it to start in second.

so first thing to do is check all your fuses.

but i really didnt fix my problem i just kinda bypassed it. as my truck is a off road only truck i wasnt worried about getting my transmission to shift right i just need 1st gear and reverse. i found what wire from the computer was sending the proper signal to the transmission and wired it to a relay so the solenoids are activating giving me 1st gear back

and i did this like 3 years ago so i dont really remember what the heck i did. so maybe a new computer would help? not really sure
