I've got a problem w/ my transmission and wanted to get some opinions before I bring it in to get it serviced (I drive a '98 Contour w/manual trans). I was driving home the other day and went to shift gears when all of a sudden - there weren't ANY gears -- what I mean is not only would the car not shift, but there wasn't even as shift pattern. I could actually take the stick and move it in a circular motion without anything interfering. I got it towed home and immediately thought I broke the shift linkage/cable. But when I checked it out, everything was still intact. Obviously I know I've got to go and get it looked at by some sort of Trans professional, but wanted to get some feedback before I do so -- I don't want to get screwed over by whomever fixes it. Has anyone had a similar problem? Does anyone know how much something like this might cost me?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
