If its a older trans sometimes the vacuum hose comes off the trans solienoid.
I am not a mech. but I own a 2002 dodge neon sxt 142,000 mi on it and have had all the regular problems with the transmision.If you have an auto trans, and it is stuck in 1st or 2nd gear here is a link that might help there are 13 parts to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46VeVdRdkpc&playnext=1&playnext_from=QL
If a transmission for a car becomes stuck between 1st and 2nd gear the fluid should be changed. Old fluid in a transmission can cause hard shifting and stuck gears.
I can get mine up to fifty five little more if I push it.
My 1997 Dodge Avenger automatic transmission stays in 2nd gear a the time. What seams to be the problem?
If second is the only gear that does not work, there is an internal failure. The transmission will need repaired or replaced.

check fuse inside fuse box trans axle fuse im not joking
Most likely the computer has detected a malfunction and set a code. Have the system checked for codes.
If they cut a sensor wire, the trans could be stuck in 2nd.
I am having the same problem and have not taking the car to the shop yet
When the trans computer has detected a problem it will default into 2nd gear. You need to have the system checked for codes.
