Reverse is usually the first to go, followed by first gear. Time for a transmission rebuild.
tranmission on way out reverse usally goes first got one for 100
An automatic transmission might be slow shifting from first to second because of low transmission fluid. You might also have damaged the gears in the transmission at the area between first and second.
Likely either a bad/failing motor mount, or a bad transmission mount. Is it a manual or automatic transmission? If it's automatic; the clutch that controls the reverse gear could be going bad. Have your mounts checked first. Simple, easy to replace, and the least expensive of the repair solutions vs. a bad transmission or clutch.
If this is an automatic transmission, more than likely the transmission is on it's way to the junkyard. Usually failing transmissions lose reverse first, then the higher forward gears - last will be the lowest forward gears.
the first automatic transmission was invented by Louis-Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor in 1894
Have you ever changed the fluid and filter in the transmission? If not, that's the first thing you should try.
