The gears in these are almost bulletproof. Likely something in the reverse band area broke. There is a servo (piston), and actuator on a hinge pin, a tab, and the band itself. Then on the other side, a tab and large setscrew & follower. IIRC the actuator hinge pin is usually the weakest link. But if so, you would probably only lose reverse.

If something broke in such a way to damage a hydraulic circuit, that could kill the trans pretty quick.

Will be interesting to see.
