95 Astro tranny troubles

[95astrovan]

as my username should confirm, my first vehicle was a 95 astro handed down by my dad when he got his new truck. it's got like 206K on it. when i got my camaro this past june, i parked the van intendin to sell it, and it's sat there under a tree in the yard ever since...i went to take it out for a drive about a month ago, and everything was going perfectly fine, until shortly after i left, it dropped out of OD, then down into 3rd...and after a while of wonderin what the eff had jus happened to my baby(yes i love my van lol) it slipped into second and refuses to shift any higher...i was told by a couple ppl that it's probably a stopped up tranny fluid filter from where it's sat for so long. when i shift it from 1st to 2nd manually it makes the shift smooth, but when i put it in drive, it wont shift out of first...i've just joined a tourin band, and i need the van again, so i MAY have to let my camaro go :cry: to get the van right...anybody had this trouble and figured out what it was? or is my tranny screwed? id rather keep the chevy than have to pickup the next thing i can afford locally, which is a 89 nissan 4x4
