Default pretty sure my trans let go

driving home last night from work i has going up a hill and the trans slipped then grabbed again well by the time i got home i could only creep less than 5mph, basically no 1st 2nd or drive. all of this happend at once with no notice, anyone have any ideas? there is a dyno day in my area on the 17th and ive already said i was going to be there, so if i can band aid it till then and kill it on the dyno thats fine, a guy at work said if i lost all my gears he would put oney that its my filter. so i think im going to flush it and put a new filter in it whats 100 compared to 5k for a new trans. but if anyone has ideas im all ears cuz im stuck in the powerstroke and i cant stand it.

You have 150HP injectors, and a Quad Adren on a stock transmission?!?!?! I don't like to say this, but you got what you deserve. I don't think there is a band aid out there to save you. Pony up the cash, and play the game properly.

When it was time for mine to be done, I weighed the options. Kits, exchange, or local. I chose a local builder as he is very reputable, it came with warranty, and I didn't have the time to do it myself. It was a quick, easy fix with warranty, but I sure did pay for it. Close to the tune of $5000. I didn't do much research into kits though. Hopefully someone with some kit experience can chime in.

That seems pretty fishy that just the filter caused the problem. Hopefully it will hold on long enough for a trans build.
