There'* no first gear, no matter what. Starts out in second. Struggles. There'* a slight hissing coming from the transmission when you go to go. It won't go into first even when it'* switched into lowest gear on the console shift lever either.. What'* your suggestion as to the cure to the problem, or what the problem could be?
PS, i just checked fluid levels with trans and engine warm, fluid is at correct operating level.

I'd think there was a "technical difficulty" aka.. something that can't easliy be explained.

Sounds like a "hiccup". Might never come back. But, for a while anyway, I wouldn't go anywhere in her you can't easily get back from.
I would also look into at least a tranny fluid/filter change. That will replace about a third to a half of your current fluid (could help). Plus, you'll be able to see what kind of debris is in the pan (hopefully stuck to the magnet)
I would say to think about a flush, but personally I'd rather see the fluid for myself.
