Default please help with transmission

i have a 1998 corvette with A4, when I was driving home tonight I went to pass some cars and when it shifted into drive there was nothing it was like a slipping clutch in a manual, so i babied it home using second gear, there is no overdrive at all, and a bad slipping drive?

A. Is my transmission blown?

B. can I use a camaro A4 transmission, if not the whole thing can I just use the internals and my shell?

C. what is the average rebuild price of my transmission, if the above will not work?
please help thank you

Rodney built mine a few months back and it has been great so far.
Several of the guys I race with have his trannys and they are still holding up on several 10 second cars very well.
A great guy to deal with
