Locked Tires I was driving the other day in the city and noticed that I could hear and audible whine from what I believe was the trans. It would seem to not be as loud in early gears then get louder at the later gears. I drove slowly home only to have my tires lock up on the expressway. It seems it has locked the tires up they had to drag it onto the flat bed. I can put it in gear and start it and when i let the clutch out it will move a bit then lock up again.
Any suggestions what it could be? Thanks in advance.

If it's not the rear as you surmise, then you've got some major gear/bearing damage in the transmission and it will need a rebuild. Depending on your budget and/or rebuild skills, a lockup like you're describing may be cheaper to fix by buying another transmission...

that same thing happen to me in my mustang on the freeway a year or 2 ago it was my rear end differential that went out & locked up my wheels as thats what i was told
Did you check to see if you have any fluid in the trans?
The locked trans could mean:
-failed bearings that weld the rollers to the shaft
-failed snap ring that causes the gears/washers to load to what ever is next to them due to the helical cut gears and weld themselves

I pulled the rear end today and it looks great, I had the driveshaft out and put it in first and second and the output shaft moved but I had some difficulties getting it in third and fourth gear. Maybe a rebuild from Tickshift or Gator Transmissions will do the trick and the entire transmission isnt a pile of junk. Not sure. Hopefully I can come up with funds to fix it if not I might just sell the car as is.
