Auto tranny blew up

I was doing about 70 on the 405 (SoCal) and my 04 Disco started vibrating really bad for about 30 seconds then I lost all power to the wheels. The engine was still running but all the automatic transmission fluid had poured all over the freeway.
Has anyone had a similar experience or have an idea as to what could have broken?

When you're mechanic tells you that you need a new transmission, give me a call. I have a few good used ones in stock for your '04. They'll save you a ton of money over a new or rebuilt one. I can even provide a rebuilt driveshaft as well because it sounds like you'll be needing one of those as well.

Thanks for the info, yes the front drive shaft is missing and it broke a 3" x 2" hold on the side of the transmission just above the pan. I assume this cannot be repaired and I need to replace it.
I do have to say this seems like really stupid engineering as a $50 U-joint takes out a transmission. What were they thinking.
If anyone has any ideas on what actually needs to be replaced pls let me know.
I had just put it up for sale so I am only looking to get it repaired so I can sell it.

You'll need the transmission and driveshaft from Paul, a few gallons of dexron, and probably 8 hours of labor (though some shops will charge more).
Wouldn't hurt to put a new filter and some seals in the used tranny and maybe in your transfer case, and maybe a rear main seal, but you can get away without if you just want it back on the road to sell it.
