Description of the problem	Traveling on busy 2-lane highway at night.. Approx 50 miles an hour.. Suddenly car revved up and went into neutral.. Engine running fine. Transmission would not shift into any gear. There were cars everywhere.. Dark highway.. No street lights. This could have been a very serious situation. Luckily, i was able to coast to a pull off point without any injuries. There was no warning of any kind that this was going to happen... No warning lights, no transmission shifts or slippage, no smoke, no smell. Since this occurred out-of-town--vehicle had to be towed over 100 miles. Quoted cost of repair at local ford dealer--$3,000. Needless to say, it has been sitting since this happened because i do not have funds to get it repaired.
