I would ask a local tranny shop you trust to check it,but if it needs a forward clutch,the tranny has to come out & taken appart so it's a good time to check the condition of the other clutches & bands,you can try a bottle of Lucas Trans Fix in it but it depends how much damage is done,good luck,Gigger
