Not shifting up

[BIGAIR]

Like the title says, put the car into first and it will not shift up if under load. I have to let off the throttle so the trans will shift to second. Does not matter if I shift early or late after I floor it, if I stay in it, car revs to the moon. Could this be just a simple linkage adjustment, maybe where the cable hooks to trans?
TIA

r u sure its shifting to second and not third? and buy putting it in 1st to u mean putting the shifter in 1 then bumping it up to 2? if it does it when its left in D it might be the same problem my friend had....he lost second gear..so letting off it would skip 2nd n hit 3rd but would not shift unless u let off gas

Yes, I put the shifter into first and bump to 2nd and so forth. I can put the car into 2nd and drive around, so I should have all the gears, it just wont shift under load.
Thanks
