1988 900 5-speed--locked up

Okay, this made for a nifty Easter weekend. We were taking the Saab 900 home, and on the interstate in 5th gear, the transmission started to make a fairly serious howling sound with an intermittent knock. This sounded bad, and so I pulled over to the shoulder. The front end locked up solid---front tires skidded about 25 feet until we stopped (with no brakes applied). At this point, I had the clutch in, and the engine idling. I can work the gears, and idle in neutral. When trying to start in any gear, the engine bogs and that's about it. I haven't had anything off at this point, but has anybody had a similar experience, and if so, what was it?
Thanks,
Travis
