The shift link cable could be broken, or the 1st/2nd shift fork, inside the transmission, could be damaged.

If it a manual transmission it could be fluid level/needs changing, shifting fork/linkage or syncro issues. If it is an automatic, the fluid level/condition can affect shifting, also if the valves in the valve body are sticking. The transmission can also just need rebuilding, clutches are worn.

Why wont your manual 2002 Saturn shift out of 1st gear?

The first cause of the jump out from one to other gear is the loose shifter fork, which connects the shifting linkage and gears of the transmission. The second cause is loose shifting linkage itself, which connects the gear shifting knob and shifting fork. The shifting linkage and shifting fork become loose due to the rapid changing of gears from one gear to other at high speed of vehicle. The third cause is the misalignment of shifting linkage to the shifting fork.

What is cause of lurch when shifting from first to second gear in 2003 Chevrolet cavalier?

Assuming it is a manual transmission, it sounds like you aren't giving it enough throttle before you are releasing the clutch. You are just experiencing engine braking while the tires are actually spinning faster than the engine rpms. Give it a bit more throttle and let the clutch out a bit slower and see what happens.
