Was on an incline, would not go into gear, rolled back down, forced it into gear but it is difficult to shift from 1st-2nd and also reverse.
Sounds like you have clutch problems, this can be the hydraulic release system or the clutch plate that is defective, only a trained technician can tell the difference. Most shops will do a preliminary diagnostic for free.

not sure on the set up of whether its rods or cables on this model for your gear linkages but sounds like one has either detached or broken which should be a relatively easy fix and not too expensive.Get a friend to move through gears while you look under to see whats moving and whats not.

Hi,
Here is some possible reasons why your transmission is having those problems .
* The gear shift linkage is binding
* There is an internal problem in the transmission
* The throttle cable is broken or disconnected
* The vacuum modulator on the transmission is faulty or the vacuum line is damaged
* The electronic transmission control circuit may be faulty

Sean Pried it could be your A604 4 Speed Automatic Transmission Shift Solenoid which is located just in front of your transmission dip stick.

Have someone scan the transmission for bad shift sensors.
SOURCE: when i slow down the trans shifts hard and stays
This is called a 2nd gear limp mode -- it is a safety devise in the computor to prevent interior damage to the transmission -- the cause could be a speed sensor or a blown rear low/reverse seal inside the transmission.
