transmission shot

Hey guys, just picked up a black 92 and the trans is shot, no reverse, whine in first and only goes into third. Now i thought the car would be able to be rolled in neutral backwards but it won't budge. does this happen when reverse goes? I am going back and forth on how to address this, rebuilt vs. auto tranny swap...ideas and advice much appreciated...

If the high clutch is seized, the box will all ways be in 3rd, with no reverse. Will it start in 1st, or does it just make a noise ?

Yes. That's exactly what happened to mine the first time. You can drive it forwards fine, but the transmission locks up when you try to roll it backwards in neutral. Levelten told me that the planetary gears were damaged. That's an extra cost on top of the normal rebuild.

I had to get it winched out of my driveway with the tyres dragging.
