Angry no 3rd or 4th gear

On the way home tonight, the 83 downshifted from 4 to 3. Strange... A mile or so later, back to 4, then it would not pull in 4 and shifted it to 3. About 20 min. later, and about 15 miles, 3rd stops working. The only thing I have now is 1,2. On a dark windy road.

What am I in for? using the search,I have read about cleaning some screens in the valve body, to full trans rebuild.

this is the car that has had a fluid leak, the rad. leaked water into it, and it has been ran low to the point of not moving the car.

It has ran great since fixing the rad. and the trans dipstick o-ring. then this tonight.

If I power brake the car, the trans holds firm, and will even spin the tire in the gravel. But dead in 3,4. If the car idles for a minute, I get maybe 100yards before 3-4 are gone again.

Help
