The car going into 2nd isnt your problem. It is just in what you call safe mode or limp home mode.
This can be a good thing or a bad thing. When it goes into safe mode it can hinder further damage. But, it doesnt allow you to "feel" for the problem.
There are scanners that can pin point your problem, of you can go replacing sensors. The IP OP would be my first choice. If that doesnt help drop the pan and check out your magnet.

thats cool...would changing the tranny fluid and filter help me at all, cuz i'll prolly just do that while im at it too. oh...and how hard are those sensors to change?

Like replacing spark plugs essentially.
Changing the fluid out wont necassarily fix anything because the computer has gone into safe mode. Have to reset the computer to do that. txchange.com has those sensors really cheap for our tranny. check em out.
It'd be a good idea to drop the pan though to see what's going on inside.
