The 2nd box on my tractor used to have similar problems, for no apparent reason would lose drive. Flicking into N then D usually cured it.  If you let it slip for too long, it will knacker the box.


Hoe dose it knacker the box? and why is it bad to find no bits of thrust washer?
if the slip is on the clutches, they will be toast very quickly.

if you have box problems, and the level appears ok, thrust washer is 'easy' fix. Otherwise, replace box
