Default 98 transmission problems

I recently bought a 1998 blazer, the owner said the transmission was bad(it wouldn't go into any gear). Before I chunked down a bunch of money I decided to change the filter. It ran fine for about a week. I was going down the road and it locked up. Tires sqealing the whole nine yards. I can still drive it in first and second gear. But when I put it in drive it looses all power, it's kinda like your slamming on the brakes. Im pretty sure I need a new transmission now, I just want to make sure it's not something else causing it first. Like the torque converter or something else. Any help would be appreciated.

Trans shot-Solonoid issues also,and why yes the torque converter may be at fault as well-but you already have all these codes-right?
