When cold operates all gears. As gearbox warms up, it only engages 1st gear so have to drive very slowly, This is a reconditioned gearbox put in at 200,000kms

The most likely causes for the shifting issue is as follows;

Blown fuse to the PCM controller
Faulty vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
Shorted second gear control solenoid
Faulty transmission controller (PCM)
