trans just don't break like that

I'm working on one now that had a piece of broken shift fork in the oil pan. The PO said he was just riding along, heard a pop when he shifted into third, rear wheel locked up..yada yada yada.

That is why I said "usually". Nothing is impossible, although some things are improbable.

On a shaft drive the first thing to check is the secondary gear set. Check the big nut that connects the drive shaft to the engine- inside the Boot on the swing arm the stem sometimes breaks

Thank you. That is what I was calling the transfer case, I just did not know the formal name for it.
