Thanks Transman. Dealer called a couple of hours ago - I just got back from there - paid the $101.00 fee to diagnose. They tell me the pump failed & it burned up - trans is supposedly toast. Dealer service guy told me $5,000 for a new transmission, $3200.00 for a used trans to R&R.

I'm having it towed to a reputable independent trans shop that actually REPAIRS & REBUILDS - they have the ability to. They are not just parts changers like most trans shops these days, granted it's a big job. Owner there scoffed at the dealer's prices. We'll see where these guys come in. If it's too much, the car will get towed back to my house where I'll clean er up & sell it. I'll keep you all posted to see the opinion of the trans shop - edge of the seat everybody......
