Sounds like a locked up low roller if I had to guess.

As Vince mentioned I would look at the Low roller clutch but usually rather than just first when is locked you will get a bind up brakig effect when its time for the 1-2 shift to ocur, Also look at the 1-2 Shift valve
Thing is was the fact the shift was being commanded ever verified ?
Was the speedo working on the car it came out of?

Take some pictures of what you see inside and post them up maybe we will see something .
