Transmission issues SUZUKI 4-STROKE DF90ATL

[trapper82]

Hi all, a couple of hours into my last trip I had issues engaging into forward. Eventually it made a grinding noise then clunk which stalled the motor, after starting engine again, same issue. No previous concerns and well serviced. Approx 500hrs.
Any thoughts?

Drain gear oil.----Look for metal bits.-----Perhaps the teeth stripped off the pinion .----Or clutch dog broke.

Thanks racerone, I think I smell some oil around the outboard today. I'm guessing it's jammed in gear atm. Maybe no/low oil somewhere, transfercase/transmission?
