Currently driving a 3 speed :(

So I leave work early today due to feeling sick beyond belief and drove around looking for a food joint that somewhat sounded good to my stomach. I'm at a light and it turns green so i proceed to go. The car doesn’t move anywhere. In frustration, I give it a good amount of gas but it stays stationary. At this point, I notice the car is in neutral, (I’m assuming I accidentally slapped it when i reached for my ipod). I put it into drive then immediately notice I’m at 3 grand. Before i can say the word your guys are probably thinking right now, It goes into drive... and with a thrust. Now, i have no OD and it moves real slow from a stop light unless i have it manually in first gear.

I know it needs attention, but heres what im wondering. Do you guys think it will need a full rebuild or could it be something simple like a clutch pack? I already felt more sick after it happened and the price of a rebuild might just kill me

Thanks,
Matt

It may have set limp mode or you may have broken the input sprag, Have you turned car off the started it back up yet to see what it will do ?

Heres some better info.

Reverse works fine. When manually in first it works fine. When i shift into second, it stays in first. When i shift to third, it goes into third. When i shift to OD, nothing happens till about 3k and im guessing thats because its running off third gear. Im taking a wild guess and thinking its the 2-4 bands? i dont know much about this stuff so im sitting in the water

Thanks for the help.
