It's probably time to let the transmission shop look at it. Since it went out over time, you've probably lost the engagement clutches.

I agree.

Have you checked the fluid (warm, idling in park or neutral)? Is it full? Is it a nice pink/red color, or is it brown/burnt? That would tell us a lot right there.

Just out of curiosity, how many miles are on it?
