I was driving up a hill to a shopping center and the drivers side axle CV near the tranny broke, all the tranny fluid ran out. turns out the broken axle broke tranny case. So off to the junk yard it goes, cost more to fix it than to buy another one. I have a bunch of new parts now that I have no use for.

 

So sorry to hear about your loss.

Shame you don't live closer. I would have been interested in taking it off your hands for you. I tend to invest more money in these cars than they're worth so I probably would have replace or rebuild the tranny.
