My truck did something similiar. It wouldn't shift into reverse until i gave it a lot of gas. I mean a lot! Then, after it finally engaged, it wouldn't shift out of the 2nd gear until I either floored the gas, or let it warm up. After it warmed up, it shifted fine. I would tell you how I fixed it, but the problem is, it fixed it self. It just stopped doing it one day and shifted fine and has ever since. Maybe you'll get just as lucky, or you need to have your tranny's valves rebuilt, or you need a new torque converter, or you need to have your entire tranny rebuilt. Possibly a fluid change. Anything could be at fault.
