Nissan Altima: New Trans for a 2000 Nissan Altima SE?

Driving back from my girlfriend's house, my 2000 Altima SE (96,000 miles)
simply began to race and race. No gear functioned. I wound up pushing,
driving, and steering the car two blocks back to my house. I proceeded to
call AAMCO to have someone tow it to their shop. Upon removal of the
Altima, I noticed a puddle where the car was parked. It appeared to be
some type of oil (trans. fluid?). They are closed until Monday.

Anyone have any idea at all what the problem is and how much it will cost
me? I live in Kearny, New Jersey. Thanks very much.

sounds like a blown front seal to me check trans fluid level and get
prepared for wallet shock this trans has a high failure rate of gear train
..if your lucky to find an honest transmission repair facility you may have
only blown the front seal and have to remove the trans have front pump
checked for pump damage and replace front pump bushing and seal .this info
based on your statement of puddle of fluid on the ground...
