My first thoughts would be metal fatigue or lubrication failure.
I have seen this a couple of times in 41TE's in minivans and the cost of geartrain hard parts was so high that I just put a reman and radiator in them and was done.
The transaxle was completely locked-up and had to be moved to the lift with the front wheels off the ground. It was very difficult to disassemble, even with a slide-hammer.
It was a better deal and just more cost-effective to go with the reman.
Metal bits were everywhere and there was no way that I could guaranteee the removal of all of it. Your radiator cooler my also be plugged with shavings. By covering all the bases now will save problems later.
