The vehicle may upshift from 1st to 3rd and downshift from 3rd to 1st,  
by-passing 2nd gear completely.

The transmission case plug by the 2-4 brake band servo may have fallen
out causing a loss of pressure to the servo. The plug may be found in
the bottom of the oil pan stuck to a magnet.

Apply locktite to the plug and reinstall.
