Dirty valve body.
I had that happen, but, only stayed in first.
Then I got it to JUMP from 1 to 3.
I lost band on the drum.
Ungunked the valve body, too.
Good luck, I've learned alot here.
Next is recalibrating (one tranny) and also rebuilding a bad tranny

By any chance does it seem to go into gear rougher than usual now too? If so it confirms that the TV Valve is stuck (common cause fo failure). If the fluid doesn't exactly look perfect, you know what is next, right?
