Check the differential fluid level. Toyota uses a seperate lubricant supply for the differential (where the axles go into the trans).

There is a fill hole on the rear of the diff. near the firewall.

I have seen this happen several times on the A131L trans. The diff. loses the lubricant (usually through bad axle seals) and without lube, the differential will eventually sieze.

I have to be honest, if it is the diff. it is probably too late. You will have to replace the trans.
Try a used one from a 90-92 Toyota Corolla or Geo Prizm. You can usually pick up a good one for $350 or so.
