96 with 5 speed problem

Cruising at 75 when started hearing a whining then smelt burning grease smell. Truck will only move in third now. What could be the problem? Pulled side cover offf and didn't see anything wrong in there.

Was the oil level low? Was the oil black and burnt? Any chunks of metal rolling around in the bottom of the case?
