It probably would be popping out of more gears....I guess it would depend on how much the input shaft were walking.

I only really mentioned it as a possibility because I was sitting here reading over the dissassembly instructions for the ZF. Not something I'm going to try at home, it might cost more for all the special tools that it would for a tranny shop to rebuild it.

Well this is interesting. ZF has the Ford troubleshooting guide on their website.

http://www.zf-group.com/pdf/S6-650.pdf

Maybe that will help narrow the possibilities down for you.
