Yes. The Sun gear is stripped or fractured. Also known as the planetary
gear.
This requires a complete teardown and rebuild.
Sometimes this happens when people get stuck in the mud and start
pulling the old game of trying to shift rapidly from reverse to drive to
rock the vehicle out of the mud. This trick will destroy these
transmissions
in very short order.

had that changed 2 & half yrs ago (6000mile), if it was the sun gear, i
guess it would of made a noise and metal pieces would be in the pan!!??,
but, there was no noise and just very fine paste like stuff on the
magnet.
it just stopped, also when in reverse, when i rev it up and then again it
backfires.
