Camry Tranny Dead, Help!

I was driving my 92 camry le(205K miles) down the highway at about 65
mph and all of a sudden there is no power from the engine to the
transmission. I pull over and have the car towed home. The only thing
that I can think to check is the cable from the gearshift to the
tranny, but that looks ok. It's like the car is stuck in neutral.
Before this happened, the car was working fine. Any suggestions??

What is the condition of the transmission fluid?

I think the fluid is good, it was changed a year ago.

I had a similar thing happen on a 92. The inside of the transission was a
pile of aluminum shavings. Had to replace the transmission. And that is
not cheap. Hope this is not your problem.

If the fluid is bright red and clear of metal particles, then the problem
may be relatively minor. By any chance, was the "OD Off" light flashing?

On the other hand, if the fluid is brown or black, major repairs or
replacement may be necessary.

The proper diagnosis requires transmission pressure gauges.

Cut a hole in the floor directly in front of the driver's seat for
supplemental propulsion?
