Stuck in 2nd gear!

Hello! I'm looking for some advice about driving in 2nd gear. About a week ago I found out I had a bad SLT solenoid valve. Which is limiting my car from shifting higher than 2nd gear. I am currently stuck in Patagonia where I am told by every mechanic including Toyota this part can only be purchased in Paraguay. Paraguay is roughly 2000 kms away and I am short on time so it looks like the only option I have is to drive it back in 2nd gear. What problems could I have doing this (other than speed)? How high should I let the RPMs get? Thank you in advance for any advice!

You have to be careful starting off in second and particularly starting off on an up hill. You can very easily overheat the tranny doing so.

are there no auto wreckers around that you can get a used one from?

I lost every gear except 2nd when my shift cable snapped. I drove roughly 50 km in 2nd. Had to go slow, no faster than 50 but you can do it, just have to go slow.
