in the transmssion, not auto trans fluid. The final drive is separated from the rest of the auto trans and it uses engine oil for lubricant, not transmission fluid. There's a drain plug for the final drive on the bottom of the differential case, at the rear of the engine, where a "normal" car's engine oil drain would be.
What most likely happened was that the pinion bearing died a slow heat-related death and the final drive gears misaligned and siezed when she got to Georgia. A pinion bearing will go for a long distance without lubricant before totally failing (BTDT in a 5-speed, I hate to say.)
