I'll start with the obvious, and don't take this the wrong way, but did it fall out of high range? You haven't mentioned whether or not you got it going again after.
If not, then the only other alternative is to take out the console and floor rubber and remove the shift housing cover. Check that the housing on the shift shaft that the peg engages with is not loose on the shaft, they have a alan key lock bolt. Failing this, strip the box and look for a total disintegration of the second gear hub assembly. (Not Likely!!!)...
Good luck.

the strange part is that i have every other gear still not grinding no noises whatsoever it is still firm in the shifting not flopping around

Weird. Must have broken something in the second hub. Looks like a pull apart is in order ...Maybe drop the oil and check the magnet??
