C6 issues

wow i have been searching and it seems like these transmissions are lots of peoples nightmares
any ways..
i have a 1977 F-150 4wd
with a 6.6L 400 attached to the obvious C6
so i have no forward gears only reverese...Tonight I dropped the pan and attempted to replace the filter hoping this would solve the prob but after some searching it seems like i better ask u experts for some quality advice before i put the pan back up and fill it with some fluid....
...Im becoming a transmission killer...my dang 93 gm shredded its 4L60E so my 77 was my ride to work and school...luckily though i saved lots of money by pulling the tranny myself and my plans for this weekend were to get my new tranny in...

The filter may very well be plugged and if it is the transmission is ready for PB&J because it is toast.

You probably have a burnt forward clutch.

The transmission must be removed and the front portion taken out.

But that is only a bandaid fix.

For what's left in there the entire unit should be disassembled.
