So they didn't even drop the tranny.
I was suspicious of this assumption that it was a blown differential. I mean, how could it fail while you were stopped and out of gear?

Only event I've seen where you take the car out of gear, then try to put it back in and you get nothing, was when an ex-boss roasted his clutch trying to pull cement up a steep driveway. Once he let the clutch plates cool off, they didn't meet any more.

Maybe in your case, stopping allowed the broken bolt to fall out of its hole...
