I was off roading and I got stuck in the sand. I tryed rocking it out by putting it in drive and reverse but it just rocked me deeper and deeper. My friend came and pulled me out with his 4x4 explorer and I put it in drive and it just reved up I put it in first and it just reved up so I put it in second ad it went. My first gear must be blow or do I have to buy a new tranny?

When transmissions fail or have a problem they usually go to "limp home mode" which means they go in 2nd gear only. You'll have to take it to a trans shop and let them look at it. YOu may have broken a wire or tore something off especially since you were offroading and then got stuck in the mud.
