TURN OFF 2ND GEAR START!!! That's the only thing i can think of that could make ONLY 1st gear not work and other work fine. theres a little switch under the steering wheel toward the drivers door, just turn that off so 2nd gear start isn't lit up on the dashboard. have fun.

To remove the automatic transmission from a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, first, ensure the vehicle is on a stable surface and disconnect the battery. Then, drain the transmission fluid and remove the driveshaft, exhaust components, and any electrical connections. Support the transmission with a jack, unbolt it from the engine, and detach the transmission mount. Finally, carefully slide the transmission out of the vehicle.
you need to change the fluid. my 99 grand am does that, it feels like you're shifting a manual from 1st to 2nd.

To disconnect the transmission linkage on a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am SE, first, ensure the vehicle is safely supported and the battery is disconnected. Locate the transmission linkage, which is typically connected to the transmission and the gear shifter inside the vehicle. Use a socket or wrench to remove any bolts securing the linkage, and then carefully detach the linkage from both the transmission and the shifter mechanism. Be cautious not to damage any surrounding components during the process.
