1995 Chevy Silverado shifting problems

Transmission problem
1995 Chevy Silverado V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1995 chevy k2500 4x4 truck with the 4l80e in it. Sometimes it wont shift out of first gear but if you unhook the battery for a few minutes than hook it back up it will shift fine for a while. Do you have any idea of what it could be?


Thanks
