A car with an automatic transmission shifts itself from 1st to 2nd to 3rd when you accelerate. You don't need to shift it...that's why they call it automatic.
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.
Difference between first shifting and second shifting theorem
A seized up transmission can cause a Volkswagen Golf with an automatic transmission to not shift and racing RMPs after second. A worn gear can also prevent shifting.
Frame of reference is the measurement or observation that tells you that a car is accelerating. It uses the second law of motion to tell you rather or not the car is accelerating.

Synchronizer maybe. not sure if that's how you spell it. I grind a little downshifting into second but not when shifting into any other gears. A mechanic buddy told me that's probably what it was.
The second.
You have a high line pressure problem with the 1 and 2 shift slonoids. IT may be in the valve body. stop driving or severe damage will acure in the transmission. Take to trans shop ASAP.
Try a basic tune up. New spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. When the vehicle is in first gear and you are accelerating, that is when the most load is on the engine. It sounds as though under a load, you are losing your spark because it is arcing out where it should not be.
Check the transmission fluid on the 1995 Nissan Altima. Bad fluid can cause the transmission to shift harder on parts that are more worn.
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.
