You have experienced a 3-4 clutch failure. With a neutral condition this is the only thing that comes to mind that will cause this. Vince B

I've lost two transmissions in my 88 Silverado in the last year just like this. What usually causes a 3-4 clutch failure? I think in my case I'm leaking transmission fluid.
