Is my transmission shot?

My 87 Gn is making a ticking noise when i put it in gear. When i drive it down the driveway it feels like e-brake is on? The tranny is stock and motor basically is too. For the past month i would take it out to store 2 times a week and it was shifting early. It would go through all gears all the way to over drive if i stayed at 30 mph? If i got on it from a stop and stayed on it then it shifted fine. It is going into shop next tuesday cause i just listed it on auto trader and i wont sell anything that isnt right. Im only selling it because i have 2 and it is turning into an addiction!! I cant stop spending money on them.

you should check the tcc solenoid
my car used to do the same after driving it a bit
i would shift gears right away within like 15 mph but if i got on it it ran like a champ.
if the tcc is bad the converter will lock at the wrong time
