Default Slipping Tranny

My 1996 Polaris Express 400 sat up for about 6 months.
I started it today and the Automatic Transmission is slipping.
I can give it a little gas and eventually get moving, but even when
I am moving if I give it gas the engine RPMs increase with no speed increase.
This happens in Lo and High, Fwd and Rvs.
Any idea what night be going on here?

No I have not. How does one go about servicing the clutches? The belt sounds easy enough.
