Bought used 78 camper van(chateau)..but tranny is iffy...

Got a great deal on a camper van last weekend. (well I hope.....) When I put it in drive it wont shift out of 1st... so I manually shift to second everything seems tight...shift to drive (3rd) and sometimes it shifts and sometimes not....Is this tranny shot or can it be serviced ? I don't really want to blow $60 bucks on a service if it is shot out... Thanks for your views and advice...
