RTV 900. 2006 model

Riding on my hunting lease and all in a sudden the RTV seemed to be running over something that slowed me down. Tried to back up to take a look but as I put it in reverse and gave a little exceleration the motor quit. Tried again forward and heard a noise from rear end and it quit again. So here I am can’t go forward or reverse and as I shift in any gear and ease on the pedal I hear a noise ( cranky tranny type) and it kills instantly. There was no warning everything was working fine up to that moment.

Any ideas... is it the transmission, and why dose it kill suddenly without giving any excellaration.
