1996 LS400 tranny stuck in 1st gear and slipping

First my tranny was slipping and replaced the filter and flushed the fluid. Now, tranny still slips, however, it is stuck in 1st gear.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I used Catrol Dextron II / III for initial flush to see if my problem was resolved, then was going to re flush with Toyota Brand, per some threads I read.

that's why. flush it with proper Toyota T-IV.

Dexron III/Mercon spec fluid isn't even close to having the right specs. flush it and hope you didnt do any permanent damage to the clutch packs.
