I was driving to the bank, and for some odd reason, my 1-2 shift got nice and normal, then rounding a corner, it downshifted to first like it should, then when it was time to up shift it revved to the top and that was it. No reverse, no forward gears, not even a park engagement. Flexdisks are ok, and fluid level is good and fluid is nice and red and smells fresh.

Torque converter? There's also a grumbling sound now that was not there prior to the flare.
I don't even have the car paid for yet

EDIT: I did drive thru a huge puddle minutes before this happened.
