Assume it is a 55? Was it a sudden failure or has it been coming on or has the car been sitting a long time and this is the symptom you found after getting it started and driving again.

If the gear select indicator is on the arrow to the right of D and using light to normal throttle does it do the low-high shift OK at approx 15 or so and then when time for the high-direct transition is when it fails? When you say it "neutrals" does that mean the engine just races and there is absolutely no forward gear or does the high range stay selected and it will still go but it sounds like the engine is racing and the clutch is slipping. If you let off the gas does it try to go back in normal high range operation or does the trans stay in "neutral"
