When my B2 Piston broke I had other forward gears that worked.
You do not have to replace the Plastic Valve/s on the Valve Cover unless you want to. They are supposed to only control the EGR. The exception is that if they become a Vacuum Leak the Leak can have an effect on the Shifting.

Do the simple thing first......check the transmission fluid. You would be surprised what low fluid levels, burnt fluid, or the wrong type of fluid can cause.

If it's an original transmission with 230k miles, it might be about due. I replaced my original transmission at about 225k miles with a reman, and I just replaced the reman again at 578k miles.
I suspect the previous owners of my car were a little "casual" about maintenance, the transmission wasn't quite right when I bought the car with less than 200k miles. I was pretty good about servicing the replacement and it lasted 350k miles before it started acting up. A couple of weeks ago, the shifts were a little off and adjusting the cable didn't change anything. I had my indy take a look and the fluid looked horrible so I ordered another torque converter and transmission. It's much better, hopefully I'm good for another 350k miles.
