C-6 gone

I need some help really bad, yesterday I was driving and all of the sudden I hear this grinding noise and then I stopped, the engine was still running and still starts and runs fine BUT, I can't put the truck into gear. The only gear I have is reverse. I think the tranny is gone and I need some advise on what you guys think here. (1988 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer 5.8efi C-6) how much would the cost be to rebuild the transmission? or if I can find a good deal and supply a shop with the parts, how much would they charge me to put the new tranny in?
Thanks for any help

If you heard a mechanical grinding noise, that's not good, but the C6 should be rather cheap to overhaul.

Check out these guys.
$450 good for 350 hp
$600 good for 500 hp
That's exchange I think.

Or it could be that your welded rear end broke it's weld and messed up everything in your rear chunk (differential). Cause mechanical grinding noises are not good .

I have a C6, T18, and T19 if you want one let me know and maybe we can work something out.
BTW...the C6 came out of a 1983 F-250 4x4 with a 351W. I dunno how many miles it has on it but the truck read about 115K when I pulled it.

Happy Wheelin'

Ok, that didn't have anything to do with a tranny (transmission)! Haha, you california boys are fun to mess with.
