It sounds like the forward sprag has broken. The reason why it moves in manual 1st and 2nd is because the overrun clutches are applied in those shifter positions. Sorry but the trans will have to be torn down to be repaired. I am amazed that there weren’t any medal particles in the pan.

Yes, those are the exact symptoms of a broken sprag.

The several SKF sprags I have seen wade up put no metal in the pan, It all stays in the forward sprag assembly.
