what happened to my transmission?

1988, mazda, rx7, manual transmission, N/A

I was leaving work last night and got onto the highway when my hand on the shifter suddenly felt moist. Then the whole car immediately smelled like transmission fluid and I glanced in my rear-view mirror to see a huge smoke trail behind me. Thanks in advance for your helpful input on my dilemma.

Jack it up and check your tailshaft seal, if your lucky thats all thats wrong. Double check your plugs also make sure they are there
