The only way I can think of to do what you describe is somehow selecting
two gears at once, internally. There is a shift linkage setscrew inside the
transmission that does occasionally come loose. It's accessible behind the
small steel plate on the opposite side of the case from the shift box, and ZF
says to not only tighten it but lock it with red Lock-tite. Also, the linkage
inside the shift box can loosen, too. Those links are accessible (sort of)
thru a rubber plug on the backside of the box, and inside the box with the
cover off. If you fail to find anything, call Lloyd for real expert advice.
As you say, if that happened at speed, it is possible to really damage the
transaxle. Let us know what you find- Good luck -J Deryke
