I'm assuming that you heard the whine from the transmission develop for a while before it locked up. If so, you can be sure that the pinion bearing failed. If you didn't hear the whine, then it's possible that you could have another problem such as a problem w/ the shifter alignment.
If you haven't done so, drain the transmission fluid and inspect the magnet on the drain plug. If well covered with metal flakes and other bits, then it's very likely that you've got pinion bearing or other related problems inside.
If you have a mechanic pull the transmission to have it torn down, you've already committed yourself for a fair amount of $$. Don't do it unless you're prepared to get it rebuilt or replaced and face a total bill of over $2000.
