Celica is done for.., Loud bang, 2 bearings shot out, trannys toast. Options

[Badkarma]

Driving to lunch on Friday, pulled into my apt parkin lot, engine/tranny made a loud bang, and started knocking and shaking like crazy. I shut it off, got out and found 2 bearing (pretty sure they're bearings) laying on the ground. Lots of coolant and oil was pouring out of the bottom. Got it towed to my friends house now. He's a mechanic. I'm not sure if I wanna put more $ into it, or just part it out. Car still rolls while in park .This is the 96 auto by the way.

I'll keep you posted. Erich.

the coolant came from a hose that looked like it melted. its the hose that sits right under the upper hose. looks like it melted and popped a little hole and was shooting coolant out. havent started it since it broke down. when we rolled it into the garage we could feel the cv shaft knocking around at the tranny. the bearings i believe are pieces from the cv shaft or tranny. its now low on oil so i dont want to start it till i get back out there with some oil.
if its just a cv shaft issue (75$ new) ill keep it. if it needs a new tranny ill probably sell it.
