HELP just lost 3rd and 4th gear!!!!!!!!!

Well it wont shift into 3rd or fourth now. I installed the b&m shift kit a while back and about a month ago it started slipping on the 2-3rd shifts, now it just revs up and wont go into 3rd or 4th. there arent any bands to burn for these gears correct? Could my clutch plates be bad?? What does this sound like to u???

3-4 Cutches are burnt. Not unusual to see this. There is no "quick fix" other than to remove the tranny and have it repaired. I am currently repairing a fellow members tranny now for the same thing. We put Raptor's 9 clutch setup instead of the stock 6 clutches. That should hold it pretty well. Sorry about your tranny.
