Hi,
Does the TSB mirror what you have experienced? If so, then the transmission needs to be removed and inspected. I would suggest testing first. The test for the sprag gear is listed in the TSB above. Let me know if you are comfortable doing that.
I was certain the manual had directions A-Z for a rebuild, but I was wrong. Since you are a mechanic, I should be able to walk you through it.
If you look below, I attached the exploded view of the internal components. Use that as a guide. Pic 2 shows the part I feel has failed. I attached a pic from Rockauto.
As far as gaskets, filters, and so on, Rockauto has a rebuild kit for under $40.00. However, before I recommend getting it so you can have all the seals and gaskets, I need to know which of these RPO's is related to your vehicle.
(RPOs MD8, M30, M32, M33 or M70) This will help me identify the specifics for your transmission. The RPO list will be either in the glove box or where the spare is.
Let me know what I can do to help. Also, let me know if you can complete the test listed in the TSB.
Take care,
Joe
