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
