I have a 92 XE that wont shift from low at all. It'd be about $900 to have it rebuilt so I said f*** it and started looking for a 5spd setup to swap out. My auto lasted to 250,000 so I'm not complaining MUCH.
Thats not to say you should try this (5spd swap) because its difficult and hard to find all the parts needed.
In my case it fits. If you start to look for a used auto keep in mind this failure to shift is a very common problem for this car and may be the reason one is sitting in salvage. Be smart and find one thats guaranteed or any work done to yours is warranted.
