2007/75k miles transmission failed
I was at a red light and suddenly my Fit wouldn't go into gear. Got a tow and they told me the transmission is done, one the gears was damaged. Is that pretty rare for car with only 75k miles?

Ever replaced the ATF? At 75K miles its pretty old (ESPECIALLY in the stop & go environment that is NYC).
If your ATF was never replaced you might only have clogged solenoid gasket screens. These are external to the transmission..might be worthwhile to check, not much to lose.
Anyway, I've not yet heard of a Fit AT dropping a gear, EVER.

To O.P.
Any motion in reverse?
Do the idle drops when going from P to D?
Grinding noise when going from D to P??
Before tearing transmission down check the passenger side drive shaft!!

there was a large thunk sound when the light turned green, when I shifted, there was bit of a grinding sound...
once of the gears got damaged so I'm getting a used transmission put in. I don't think I ever changed the ATF, but it wasn't dry...

The gear CANNOT break like this!!
the piece to the right of the round aluminum bracket..

Broken axle should be easily seen if you look.
Rust weakened it and it broke where a rubber donut was wrapped around the middle of the shaft.
Replace original axles. Very common in the rust belt.
The aftermarket axles I installed in mine have no rubber (damper) covering the center of the shaft.
