My car is too qwirky. Can you help?

[midwestyler]

So, I got this SVX, its a '92... I don't know a whole lot about these cars..

The tranny was odd when I got it. I assumed I'd just need a replacement. So, it was running in 2nd gear for a while... I decided I was going to take it down the street to Target the other day, when suddenly it started running in 1st gear, skipping 2nd and going on to 3rd. Why would it do this? Could there be something else wrong with it, other than needing a rebuild or replacement? I know this is it's second tranny, with about 5XXX miles on it...

Any suggestions?
