2000 4x4 shift problem

I have a 2000 4x4 auto trans and just started having this problem. Reverse is almost gone - engine revs hi and truck just creeps back. The shift from 2 to 3 doesn't happen most of the time - engine just revs. Also, the O.D light starts flashing sometimes. I changed the fluid and filter and it helped for about 10K but problem is back and filter and fluid change did not help. Is the trans gone or could it be the transfer case?

Is the fluid level still good?
What transmission do you have?
Slipping is not a good sign and it could be gone.

Fluid level was where it should be. Don't know what trans but it has the "deep" pan. Also, the truck has 245,000 miles on it. Fluid had a real burnt smell when I changed drained the trans.

What were you towing/hauling? A concrete mixer truck?

245,000 in 10 years, yeah, I'd say that's done.
