Angela:

Has the check engine light come on? Can you better describe what is actually happening? The trans can't down shift from 1st gear, so I'm a bit confused.

I agree with JACOBANDNICKOLAS, I would run the codes because it sounds like you have an input shaft sensor that is going out, FYI it might not leave a code but it is a good idea.

Here is the location of the sensor incase a code is stored for it or if you want to try swapping the sensor out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
