well if your wanting to fix it this weekend you better find a GM dealer open in the morning

Sounds like you changed the shift solenoids , He needs to change the 3-2 downshift solenoid

What would the 3-2 downshift soleniod have to do with the loss of 1st and 4th gears? I don't understand that and ask because my car has only used 2nd & 3rd gears at times and would also not lock-up in 3rd.
