Unless it was a sudden catastrophic failure of a clutch pack (possible of course) then there would presumably be some "warning signs" beforehand?
Just suddenly out of the blue staying in or going into neutral when Drive (or a specific gear) is selected suggests something else.
To my mind the "thump" (experienced it a few times) is the gearbox deciding/told to select a gear in an unmanaged way with a high-revving engine.
I've had a fair few of those (some with limp mode, some without) when the only issue was in fact a dodgy F125.
