WTF did I break??!!!!!
I got my rwd f-100 stuck on some ice (damn wisconsin winters) so, being the retard I am I rev'd the **** out of it until I got back onto plowed road. after going for a few feet I noticed that my AOD tranny wouldn't shift outta first and the fluid smelled burnt. I don't know squat about transmissions so if anybody has some ideas about what i broke and how to fix it it would really help

I hate to tell you this, but you fried the transmission.
Figure on $1000 - $1500 at the very least for an overhaul.
AOD: HEAT is its mortal enemy.
Two things are important if you want to keep your AOD in one piece.
First: STAY OUT of overdrive in heavy stop and go traffic...the constant shifting up/down between drive and overdrive fries the transmission. It doesn't take too long for this to occur, either.
Second: Install the largest external transmission cooler you can find.
