I'm just guessing here. But somethings I don't know to think about.
The pto shaft is directly connected to the bottom (counter)shaft of the transmission. The overrunning clutch works with a sort of ratchet action. When you shift gears you have to pass through neutral. While it's in neutral the only thing to keep the countershaft from spinning is the resistance of turning the gears in that 90wt oil. As it gets warmed up that resistance goes down, maybe to the point that it is less than the resistance of the overrunning clutch, like when you try to use a ratchet on a nut that's so loose that the ratchet won't click free.
Do the gears clash if when you stop you disengage the pto before taking it out of reverse?
