make sure fluid level is right. check in park while engine is running.also check that downshift control arm is connected. it goes from throttle assembly to trans and they sometimes fall off on 1 end due to plastic bushing failure. did you try manual shift starting in 1rst and then moving to second to see if it will shift?
