I had that happen to me in my first car. I was in hampton and started gettin a really loud whining, and i just tried to push on and it started kicking my low gears out. Bout a mile or so back on the highway it just stopped working period on me, so I was stranded on the highway till my mechanic (popz) came with the car dolly. He concluded it was screwed so we just went and copped another one from the junker. Dont think this will help you but just thought I would put i've been in that situation. Sorry, hope you fix it.
