Thanks Excaliber for your clarifying.

You ask some good questions that could only be answered with a lot more investigation and analysis which is where I would hope this would go.

Having more than a little experience and knowledge of the Tremec, I am very confident in my conclusion that shifting did not cause this failure. AND I am equally confident that the root cause has not been identified either.

Gear misalignment "appears" that it "could" be a contributor, but if it is, a good follow on would be how did it get that way? Or, like you asked, is that normal? There are also many other possibilities... Just not shifting LOL
