My tranny is currently sitting on the concrete floor of my garage with the
exact same symptoms, lots of glittery bits in the gear oil. In my case, the OD
also doesn't work, probably plugged up with said glittery bits. If you also
encounter what another lister described as "grey sludge" on the drain plug,
it'll be as Irv says, countershaft bearings.
I haven't opened my tranny yet to view the gorey reality, but I've learned to
trust the advise of this list. Happy pulling (of your tranny that is)
