Had to have the car towed this morning.

Check the fluid level properly.
- Warm the car to normal operating temp (drive it).
-(with the E-Brake on and the car on level ground) shift through the gears. P-R-N-3-2-1-2-3-N.
-(keep the car in N) Pull the dipstick, clean it. Put it back in and check the level while the car is still in Neutral.
-It should be at the hot mark when the trans is at the operating temperature and the fluid is at the correct level.

Also, give the fluid a good whiff, if it smells burnt, then most likely the transmission is toast.
