Default Transmission Help

i have a 95z28 with an A4 and on my way home last night in 4th gear it wouldn't engage until like 4k RPMS. and it only drives normal in 1-2 but once it hits 3rd it has the same problem. did i burn up a gear or whaT? its not to bad tho because i was getting another transmission built just wish it would have made it until then lol. oh yea and the transmission fluid is good.
