transmission torque converter

so driving the 87 fifth avenue the other day and it developed a shake while downshifting, this quickly turn into a no drive or reverse, there was also a whining sound.
The car would not move at all. I let it cool down and it ran OK but not good to drive the 2 miles back home. Now I notice it is leaking fluid. The fluid smells burnt.

I havent got around to checking any thing yet, but my question is I am sure the converter failed but what are chances the tranny may be OK.
