I couldn't wait, so I opened her up in my garage....
Here's what I got.
2 and a half teeth broken off of the input side of second gear.
Otherwise, everything looked perfect. The ring balk's all looked almost brand new, and everything looked OK. I didn't drive it after it blew, so nothing more got damaged. In fact, I could probably replace the input shaft and it would be a "limpable" transmission.
Here's the pics.

I'll do a write up for the Drivetrain forum on how it all works and what is going on at what time. A good FYI for those of you who want to know more about what happens when you slide the shifter into gear. I may also include a short video of the more complicated things.
Enjoy!
