Auto Tranny Help (Is she dead yet?) continued

Yesterday I posted in regard to my 88 9K turbo automatic that went from shifting perfectly to slipping badly in 1st gear. I received several good posts and suggestions and did some more experimenting last night. Here is what I was able to determine. 1) Reverse gear works fine 2) I have the problem in 1st gear whether I select Drive or Drive1. When I move the selector to either of those positions I can feel engagement. It is just slipping so badly that it will barely move forward. It slips so bad, in fact, that after many attempts to get it up my ramps I had to settle for most of the way up. I dropped the filter to see what clues it might provide. The fluid is a dark purple and I couln't detect anything obvious on the filter screen. I put it back together and put in new fluid. I took it for a test drive and there was no difference. It struggles to move in first but once you get going fast enough to reach 2nd all is well. (until you have to stop somewhere) Is that enough info to diagnose? Does the tranny need to come out to perform this repair? Is this repair beyond the abilities of a backyard hack mechanic? Thanks for all replies and suggestions.
