Is my transmission blown?

Question:
I bought a 1988 ford taurus wagon yesterday, and while driving it today, it ceased to go forward. It will now only go in reverse! Is it possible that the transmission isn't blown, or is this it?? It was slipping a little right before it happened. Any suggestions, or know where to get a good, low priced used transmission??

I have a 1994 Taurus Sedan, and my tranny seemed to be giving me problems. Then it dawned on me that there was too much play in the gearshift. This caused the tranny not to be engaged properly. There is a link under the dash (below the steering wheel) You can tighten this with an allen key--this will cost you nothing, if it is the problem.
