I had a similar issue with mine when I got it except my gears were all changed around. The trans was in drive but couldn't leave first. 1st, 2nd gear positions worked normal except revved to like 2500rpm before moving then came down to normal. Much like slowly easing off the clutch would do in a manual. Turned out when the previous owner put the shift kit in he put one of the check balls in the wrong spot. Only figured it out when I pulled it apart to invstigate and saw a dent in the retaining plate. Just one of many things but possible depending on its history.
