In case the pictures dont help you, the flywheel has sheared completely off of the Levine's 1.9l vanagon motor. No evident external damage.

I expected the Sean comment as soon as I saw the 1st, 3rd and 4th photos.

Knocked out of gear at 55. Put back into gear without any decel or engine racing. So back into 4th?
More disassembly needed to see what else failed.
