700r4...no 3rd or 4th gear
the other night i lost my 3rd and 4th gear while i was driving. it was acting wierd about 2 days prior to this, not shiftin right and just really strange. is there any possibility that all i need is a tranny service, or do i need to rebuild? thanks

Check vacuum lines? I didn't have OD on my 86 cause I didn't have it hooked up to the right line (whoops!) hehe! But since you said it was acting up a little just prior it could be the more expensive fix :/

basically just check if you have the correct amount of fluid and that its not burnt or brown, if it is change it. but it sounds like that transmission is gonna need a rebuild

No vaccum lines on a 700r4. check the fluid and drop the pan. Probably will find clutch material in it.
