Default C4 transmission slipping

1995 coupe with automatic
Can someone recommend a transmission shop in E dallas or greenville? I am in Royse city.

Transmission lost 3 and 4 gear yesterday. no prior slipping or loss of gas mileage. no prior symptons could mean electrical problem with TCC or computer.

When in D it tries to shift from 2 to 3 but just revs and i get no 3 gear.

When OD it won't even try to shift from 2 to 3. just stays in 2 all the way and will cruise at 4K RPM.

When i checked the oil it was low about a pint. added some additive to frees valves. no effect. No leaks of oil were apparent.

Reverse, 1 and 2 gears work fine.

Trans temp maxed out at 250.

Losing 3-4 clutch pack is a common way for these transmissions to wear out. Hopefully someone local will chime in with some good recommended shops. Mail order transmissions can be a risky deal. I am located 10 miles south of Dallas. Dallas, Pennsylvania

Odds are pretty good you will get some replies by locals. May take a day or so, but I bet someone will step up for you. What year is the car.
