Think I'm gonna need a tranny!

Daughter has been driving the 92 F150 XLT S/C w/351 & auto for the past week. She called me yesterday and said the truck quit pulling itself. I went out and pulled her back in.

Sure enough, when I put it in D and gave it a little gas, I can hear some thing trying to turn but I got a distintive kind of a burning smell. Now I don't know squat 'bout transmissions but I know enough to understand this is gonna cost me a lil chunk.

I really can't complain, I bought the truck back in 95 and other than routine stuff...she's gone 217K miles. I bought the truck up in Brunswick Maine and never got her stuck in all the miles we drove up there...and it's a 2 wheel drive truck.

Any recommendations on where to start looking for a replacement (no, I don't think I'll buy a new or reman) used tranny, drop me a reply.
