it should also be kept in mind that tighting a worn brake band even if it does keep you on the road will lead to damage to the reverse drum. It's also very likely the high clutch isn't far behind but as long as your acceleration in 3rd is good it doesn't sound like it's shot yet so like i was saying..it's possible in your case that a brake band adjustment will keep you on the road a while longer but at the same time yes your transmission is on the way out.
