Need help with a 700r4

My transmission went out on my way home...it's a 700r4.
Here's the symptoms:
Reverse-ok
Manual first-ok
All other positions (2,3,OD)- the car will not shift out of first, but will coast.

Pump? Valve body? Any ideas.

You most likely broke/stripped the governor gear. This will cause what happened to you, if this started all at once.

Thanks- it did happen all at once. That's where I'll start.

Definitely a broken governor gear...I'll get a new one in the morning and see what happens-
Thanks again!
