Default Irish Transmition trouble

Hey guys. Good to be here among you know it alls. Except I unfortunatly don't know it all. I have an 87 vette with an auto box, 36000 miles. Been off the road for over ten years. Brought it for a spin one day, everything worked fine. Two weeks later, drove it again and it only shifts into 1st and 2nd. What the hell is going on with that. Thanks for any help in keeping one of the very few Irish Corvettes driving around our little island.

The 3-4 clutchpack is shot. Overhaul time.
