What did I break?

At the Thunder shootout my 12-bolt broke and nearly seized up. Well I just got it fixed only to find out that when it went it took my tranny with it. 1st and Reverse seem to be fine, but when I put it into 2nd or 3rd the tranny locks up. I did gas it pretty hard once and it turned second over but it sounded/felt like forcing binding gears to spin. Needless to say I didn't do that anymore! Anyway, any guesses at what I actually broke? It's about to come out this weekend for inspection, I was just wondering if any of you tranny experts would know which one of the million pieces would let go first. By the way it's a Pro Built Rossler TH400 if that matters.

I saw you there and didn't recognize that was you off this board. I talked to you for a few moments about your car and saw your tag was from some non-emissions county.. lol. Glad to see you got it fixed.

Peace,
Josh
