It was the bang shift that broke the front roll resistor. Also all vibration and shuddering disappeared after I put the new TSS in and came back along with the banging into gear after approximately 50 kms, which made me wonder if I got one that went defective.

Maybe you did get a bad TSS. However, bad engine/tranny mounts can cause perceived tranny issues. Should the tranny engage and then the mounts bang against the engine/tranny, it could have a perceived tranny problem. Do fix the roll resistors first and see if it helps.
