3rd gear loss of power [message #269797]

right after pulling back onto the freeway after the shattered window episode today,
we suddenly suffered a loss of power in 3rd gear. It was like it was somehow shifting from 2nd to neutral instead of 3rd.
Since we were already pretty shaken up by the broken window, this was really not helpful.
We pulled over to check the tranny fluid level, which was fine, and then limped home the remaining 30 miles or so in 2nd gear.

So, any thoughts on what to check? I'm thinking vacuum modulator line, or maybe the shift linkage.
Other ideas?

thanks,
