Tow driver either didn't know or didn't care bout the trans.
sadly you will require a COMPLETE new trans. Not a chance in hell anything is salvageable. Even the case is shot because bearing have spun in the aluminum housing ruining it.IF.. The driver figured out he screwed up the trans and put the rig on a rear dolly then he knows he screwed it but good. This forum tries to warn members never to tow a rig with a ZF 5 speed by the front end. As already posted... Removing the driveshaft would have saved a costly repair. Sorry you have all this crap now to deal with. I kind of wonder what other damage has been done like maybe ruined rear tires cause the trans locked up or an over revved engine with no governor able to keep the rpm at a safe level. If the trans locked in 1st gear and was towed at say... 65 mph you bet there probably is engine damage now from over revving. If the trans locked up in reverse and the engine was turning backwards guess what... you engine is also ruined. Oil pumps do not pump oil thru the engine turning backwards...
