I stopped at round about and when start to move i hear some wierd sound from under the car. I thought it could be tail shaft. So I continue driving another one kilometer and parked the car. When I came back, it couldnt move front or back. Luckily machenic was across the road. He checked the car and there was ratting sound coming from the transmission and he said that the gearbox has finished and need to be replaced. Car was running perfectly and never had any transmission issue. What could be wrong.

What is the service history of the car? Was the proper transmission fluid used and what was the driving history of the car. Finally, what model/year is it? TJ, TL or TW?

Its TL magna.
No service history. Driving perfectly. Gear oil was also good.

No service history for a 13 year old car is bad.
Gear oil: how do you know it is good? Transmissions needs to be serviced every 50K kms by doing a flush AMD filled with genuine or SPIII spec oil.

And often much more often than 50k as well depending on fluid condition

Sounds to me like planetary gears have let go however could also be a transfer case issue. Either way, it all needs to come apart but not before a fluid line pressure test is done.
