Default LS400 tranny won't shift out of first gear?

Hello,
I'm new here and this is my first post. I've got a 92 LS400 that I just bought. I hopped in it last night to drive it home and it wouldn't shift out of first gear when I put it in "D", it would drive fine but I obviously couldn't get it up past 20-30 mph without revving the crap out of it. I tried to manually shift it from 1 to 2 to D and it didn't do anything, just stayed in first the whole time. It was also ideling kind of rough and was slightly surging when I first accelerated and when I decelerated

Anyone know what might be causing this?

thanks for any help,
allen

could be a number of things.. i assume your check light isnt on? also when was the last time your tranny was service with T-IV fluid.? these are some general questions asked so we can figure out what might be your problem.. also, try posting this in the maintainance forum.. the moderator.... VVT-i.... is really good about mechanical stuff.
