I keep coming back to your photo of the damage
Looks to me something got sucked up and went between the gears.
You say it looks like its been worked on
Maybe some shrapnel (left over from a previous job) siting in sump moved when on the sidehill and got sucked into the gears
You will know better when you tear the transmission apart
Also check for signs of cracking where the shaft goes through the transmission case
Magnetic plugs are cheap insurance the shrapnel tends to latch on to them
Cheers

Just wanted to provide an update on repairs. Replaced clutch disc, throw bearing, clips, pilot bearing etc. Discovered it is a hard job to do this job yourself, but can be done. T.J 230 up and working great again. The extra money spent on clutch disc($360.00 Canadian) for a heavy-duty disc is going to save money in the long run. The clutch disc in mine that broke apart was a very thin, lightweight disc that was probably used in Dodge and Ford trucks that these transmissions will bolt up to.
Thanks to everyone for their input and guidance. 👍👍

Pretty happy to have that done. Now if I can figure out the air brake issue on my Michigan loader I posted earlier I will be back into money making not spending mode. Another big shout out to Ontario Al for his help. Experience is the best tool of all.

I agree with C5C, the center tore out of your clutch disc. Pull both boxes out, don't seperate them. when you put it back make sure the two throw out bearing clips are there and the grease nipple on the throw out bearing points down.

Does that throw out bearing usually have a remote line to grease it? I have 2 remote lines going to my clutch area but it looks like they are greasing the pivot point on the side of the bell housing when the clutch is pressed. Maybe I have not been greasing my throw out bearing?

One of the lines will be throwout bearing, the other is most likely for the yoke itself. There was on mine when I put it back together.
