i was driving on the interstate going 70 and next thing i know my revs go real high and im slowing down. it no longer goes into gear. so i tow it home and this is what i have:

no CEL
tranny fluid is good. (great color no smell no flakes)
all electric systems work in the car. (lights, a/c, wipers, radio)
checked as many wires around this TRS thing aka neutral safety switch to see if any grounds have gotten loose.
i tried every combo with the gear selector... nothing

help! this car has a rebuilt tranny that is now 5 yrs old. three years ago a speed sensor VSS was put in it. ive had for as long as ive known the problem of the car not wanting to go into gear right away. for example i back out of my driveway and going from reverse to drive it takes a second to engage the forward gear. after the first couple semi-slam gear changes years ago i have always waited patiently for it to engage without any rev.
i hope this clues someone in to the problem here.
man i hope this is an electrical problem......
