Default My Transmission has complete loss of power!

Hey all,

Recently my Transmission w/ 160k miles on it does NOTHING once it is warmed up. I will be driving down the road approx. 5-10 mins after it is turned on and driven, and then I get complete loss of power and it winds up making a loud scraping/grinding noise (and says I am going a lot faster than I am). I even loose my "Park" gear. I had to have the car towed.
Again, this only seems to happen once the car is warmed up a bit. Any suggestions on what to do, or what could be the problem? I do have another transmission at home, but I want to avoid the costs of replacing it by all means.

Thanks for the help again!
