When I try to shift to low from 2nd or Drive I am going at a very low speed less than 20 mph. My kickdown switch I believe works because when it just shifts into 2nd at a very low speed it will kick down into 1rst. when I get on it. That's why from all the correspondence I have received so far it leads me to believe it is an adjustment problem because my shift cable is stretched or the cable needs to be adjusted properly to the selector lever. Hope I explained it all to you.

Sounds like a mis-adjusted or defective cable, coupled to the Idiot Proof nature of the stock valve body, which prevents being in first gear if the RPM would be too high. Even with the shifter in "1", the trans will upshift if the speed is high enough. And it won't downshift into "1" if the speed is too high.
Adjust the shifter/cable, see what happens.
Note that your issue is
entirely different from that of the original poster.
