4L60E problem, slipping in drive/3rd

4L60E problem, slipping in drive/3rd
transmission only has 30k miles on it, heavy duty torque converter from circle-D
last night I was driving on the highway (in Drive) and going up a hill it all of a sudden the engine just rev'ed up- as if it was in neutral. I had to pull off the highway, when I was stopped I put it back into part and moved it back to Drive and it was able to move, but as I applied more gas it started slipping
If I drop it down to 1st or 2nd gear, it works fine, no slipping at all. when in 3rd or 4th it seems like it stays in 1st gear
transmission fluid was nice cherry red at a full level. No leaking or any distruction under the car
any tips????? I haven't have a chance to check it out, might be a wiring problem???

when I manually put it in 1st gear, it runs fine
when I manually put it in 2nd gear, it runs in 2nd gear fine
Drive doesnt shift out of 1st gear at all, neither does 3rd gear from a stop

I am having the same problem, when in D or OD it will run 1st and 2nd and when trying to go into 3rd it will just rev.. I think its an internal job I doubt its the solenoid, im not getting any readings on it when I plug in the OBD II

BUT, I did a conversion (its not a f-body, got a ls1 in a jeep) so I have 2 seperate speed sensors. One controls my gauge speedometer(which is still working) and the other sensor is a GM sensor that sends the signal pulses to the ls1 pcm(which is now NOT working)
so if this problem was happening on yours, your gauges speedometer would not be working
