It really sounds like wheel drag more than tranny failure. Try just jacking up each of teh rear wheels and see if they rotate freely. If so, try the fronts (may have to get both of the ground at once to get free rotation). If not teh e-brake, it could just as easily be a sticking brake caliper. E-brake shoes can also come out of their little positioning clips in the right circumstances. always best to check out the cheap fixes first ;-)
