The 722.418 thats in the 300D has a plastic gear on the governor. It might have broken. This was the case for my 91 300D. I had reverse, and first gear but nothing beyond that. It did not fall out of gear and go in to neutral though, that might make this different.
If it is the governor its about $10-20 in parts and you can fix it.
