hate to tell you this, but, there are multiple possibilities, only one of them easy:
1- the shift cable is maladjusted. check this by placing the shift lever in d, then 3, then 2, then 1 and see whether it shifts only up to the gear selected. if this occurs properly with the exception of d, then it could be:
2- a bad valve body. this unit can be removed and replaced with the tranny in the car which will allow you to examine what i suspect is really wrong, which is:
3- a broken or malfunctioning C brake band. if this is the case this will involve removal and teardown of the transmission.
4- bad clutches, again necessitating a rebuild.
find a competent tranny shop and see if they can render a diagnosis. your tranny is difficult to work on and many shops won't touch them.
search the bulletin board for prices on a rebuild, but, i suspect removal and replacement is more than the value of your car.
