Help!

[Thor]

1994 front wheel drive with 168K,

Well I think the transmission just bought the farm. I pulled into traffic rather fast to merge and then heard a clunk. Then the car wouldn't move at all. No forward gears of reverse. I made it to a side road and poped the hood. The transmission fluid looks normal and smells normal. After sitting for a while it drove ok again for another two miles and then started to act up. I pulled over and allowed it to cool off. Then it drove ok for another couple miles and did the same thing. I did this until I got home.

Im not sure what it is. Maybe the transmission is finally dead. Or maybe its just the torque converter isnt working? There is no fluid leaking at all and as mentioned above the fluid seems normal. I did hear some poping sound every so often over the past few days. Like a CV was getting ready to go out.

I really am unsure what to do right now and my wife isnt very pleased with the car.

anyway I need help.
