dustin.. you beat me to the same reply.. It could also be the engine isn't winding out enough... I tune my truck so that it doesn't shift into 2nd gear in the grass because its not necessary.. I have had at times fits with the 2nd gear and it turned out to be mostly engine tuning... also, make sure its not too loose because it sill shift into 2nd almost immediatley and you may not even realize it.. try a simple test... run the car on a stand or hold it while slowly giving it throttle.. you should hear and feel the engine shift into 2nd at about 3/4 throttle..if it shift earlier.. tighten the screw a bit... make sure however that your engine is tuned correctly first...
