Sounds to me like the throttle valve cable may have broken. It is a cable that parallels the throttle cable at the fuel injection throttle and goes to the transmission. When the one on my 240 broke it first wouldn't shift from 2nd to 3rd, then 5 miles later as I limped to the mechanic, would not shift from 1st to 2nd. The cable is in a sleeve so you may not be able to visually inspect.

hope that's it!
