    Most likely sheared the teeth off the inside of the input drive gear/damaged the front shift collar.

    sounds like you might have a case of this lol
    Although this sounded like a hundred niglets with hammers trying to escape
    I am sure your going to be pulling that transmission
    Depending on how many pieces were made it might be relatively cheap to fix
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    Is this a Road Ranger?
    We have a Columbia with the same issue, what ever happened, it was years ago according to service records. We just learned to work around it.

    My pictures were from a rt6610 road ranger
    Even if the op has a merritor there’s very little difference in design
