Possible, but it would be worth your time and money to have the transmission computer checked for codes. If it sticks in second it is because the computer has set a code and went into safe mode. The code will point you to the faulty part.

Bad master cylinder or leaking line/caliper/cylinder
Drive 1 locks the automatic transmission into first gear (preventing an upshift). Very good to use when parked or stopped on a very steep slope and you need to move forward and do not want the transmission to shift. Drive 2 locks the automatic transmission into second gear. This is sometimes referred to as a "snow" drive position, as it causes the engine power to be applied to the wheels much more slowly (via converter slippage within the transmission) minimizing actual wheel-spin when accelerating from a stopped position.
check the torsion dampener.

A common cause of jerking when starting to move in a 1997 Mercury Sable could be a problem with the transmission. This could be due to low transmission fluid levels, a faulty transmission filter, or issues with the transmission solenoid. It is recommended to have the transmission system checked by a mechanic to diagnose and address the issue.
