Very common, the 3-4 frictions are probably toast. You may be able to just replace those but a full rebuild would probably be better...

Did they just go or did you hear anything prior to it happening? When I lost 3-4 in my tahoe it made a couple "Bangs" then no go, grenaded forward sprag. If its just the frictions its okay to drive in 1st and 2nd, if anything else park it cause more damage can happen.
Either go with a full rebuild or FLT that you mentioned.
