Not going into gear at all

So today on my way home from work I got stuck in rush hour and I was traveling about 15mph when I noticed that the car started revving at high rpm's and wasn't going anywhere. I pulled over and got a tow home thinking my tranny is gone. Now I'm thinking MAYBE it's the filter, but I would not be surprised the tranny is gone considering I heard it whining. Thought? Car won't go into ANY other gear at all.
 


if you drop ya pan and see a goldish brown color.. gears are toast... what year is your car if you dont mind me asking
 
1999 GTP, 173k, looked at the fluid on the side of the road and it looked pretty fresh, still clean and had the transmission color (red tint)
 


Okay well I went outside after letting it sit and it would go into gear, HOWEVER it is now making a very bad sound. Will be uploading a vid in a few min
 


That's the trans making all the noise. Just started this sound the first time I started it since I had it towed home. Didn't do this earlier when it stranded me on the highway
 
Since, I've had noises in transmissions sitting still before, you are correct, it's not good. I've had whining when a filter got clogged, heck..even had loss of all gears.

Looks like from those sounds, that you'll be doing a trans.
