Sounds like you need to adjust your linkage. What shifter do you have?

That's not how it's supposed to be. I run the stock stuff and can select first-fourth

Did you adjust the cable?

I just finished up my install on my 98 SS. I used the stock shifter assembly and took the arm off of the 4L60E and used it, I then slotted the mounting holes on the shifter cable bracket so it would bolt up to the 4L85E trans pan bolt holes. I actually did not have to adjust the cable at all, everything lined up perfect. Shifter goes from park - 1st gear with no issues, just like stock.

So far the 4L85E is great and is shifting pretty good on the 4L60E tune. Will probably do some shift table adjustments this weekend to make sure I hit my desired RPMs at WOT. The "slow67" relay mod worked fine for me also once I realized how to fully delete the three codes in the tune.

op did you do relay or bin swap/speartech cable for your swap? I didn't have the exact issue although if you have access to HPTuners you can drive and manually select the gears to see if it will shift appropriately and to identify if it's control related(PCM, wiring, sensors, etc) or if it doesn't then maybe it's something with the trans.

if the plug isn't right itll start in 2nd gear. Need the speartech kit with the extra vss cable and main plug. Depending how you do it youll need to either switch wires around or reprogram the pcm to run the trans.

Back from the dead lol still have the issue .. Let me word it better if I'm doing 30 mph and manually drop it from d to 3 it responds and same from 3 to 2 but when I go from 2 to 1 it stays in 2nd gear ... So I can't do any low rolls in first gear I've jus been letting it downshift and go..

Ya if I'm not mistaken I have to almost come to a complete stop before it drops back to first from a roll . Think that's a normal thing
