1956 Rocket 88 Holiday Sedan - Transmission failure

Greetings Classic Olds List!
I just got into restoring my 1956 Rocket 88 Holiday Sedan. It won't be a show car, I'd just like to get it to a point where it would be a fun cruiser for the local shows here on Long Island. Me and the guys at the shop are searching for info and help with the Hydramatic - Jetaway transmission.
We've already done a full brake rebuild and now getting into the tranny...
It will not go into reverse or when we put it into any gear it slips so much it barely moves forward! It rolls easy around the shop but that's about it!
Here are some pictures i took when we pulled off the pan and the internal filter to see if we would find anything cracked or snapped or popped.
any recomendations would be greatly appreciated!
you can send me an email as well at pavanza1@optonline.net

thanks!
