Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 2008 Silverado 1500 Work truck with the V-6. Been doing fine and then the gremlins came out. I was stopped at a red light and when I went to take off I noticed my engine was revved up and the truck wasn’t shifting out of 1st gear. I pulled it down manually and was able to get 2nd, but not 3rd. It slipped back to first from 2nd. I pulled into a parking lot and was cruising to a parking spot when I noticed it seemed to be shifting. I pulled over, checked the fluid which was fine, and took off without any further issues that day. Month or so goes by and when taking off from the store, same situation, only this time it seems either I didn’t wait long enough for the problem to correct or I had to go to park and then drive, but it drove fine. I drove it couple of days ago over 100 miles, get back in to town pulling away from a red light and the same thing again. Pulled over after trying a manual shift, cycled through park and no problems. I heard from a friend it could be a solenoid inside the transmission. Any thoughts and if the solenoid, which?
