I’m not super familiar with the 2305 or where the pump is located. Hopefully it’s somewhere easy to get to like the 1 series, on the very back of the transmission housing. I would remove the pump and inspect the drive key/input shaft. Sounds like it let go.

The reason your transmission is still working is it’s still full of fluid. But it will leak down internally, which is normal. Once the fluid is out or low, it won’t want to work anymore. Do not force it, don’t even attempt to. You could severely damage it if you run it a long period of time without the charge fluid (coming from the main pump) is topping off the system. It could essentially run dry with a full reservoir of fluid.

Can you post some pics? I’d sure like to follow along with this repair. :hi:
