The "ticking sound from the trans area" sounds like broken flex plate, but maybe a snapped axle would make a similar noise?
My mom's old Turbo legacy did it after a friend bought it. His axle was bad for like 10k before it went but its a quick check with someone behind the wheel other looking down at the inner axle.
