98 Explorer Sport 4.0 OHV 5sp Manual won't shift into any gear without force
My 98 explorer sport 4.0 ohv 5-speed is very difficult to shift into 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and reverse as of last night. I was on the freeway and very quickly discovered that I could force it into gear and drove it home; The clutch seems fine. Please advise. Thanks

your post I GUESS, means the whole car works great end to end and engine runs but the transmission fails. as most do now 1998
me playing fast and loose with century.
no miles on car told (odometer)
but most are bad this old for 100 reasons inside it
A/T boxes love to fail that is there THING.
but we check fuses.
and scan the PCM/TCM.
it must be scanned. (OBD2 tool) or as the service manual tells you you how to do that 1996 to 2000 cars some have flash codes
only for the transmission (USA car)
Gen 2 Explorer
the wiki list gen 2 boxes
as you can see there are 3 boxes used that
USA cars only
5-speed M5OD-R1 manual (4.0 L OHV)<<< NO !
5-speed M5OD-R1HD (2001-2003 Explorer Sport)
4-speed 4R55E automatic (4.0 L 1995-1996) 4-speed 4R70W automatic (V8 models) (special ratios)
5-speed 5R55E automatic (4.0 L 1997-2001)
so as you can see the engine dictates the box and not told.
and the 55E is TCM electronics controlled
same with 70w
so must be scanned or guess 100 times or more.

the vehicle in the picture i believe is a 1998 -2000 if so ford used the 4.0L not the sohc motor . i just got rid of my 1998 explorier sport 2 door and spent the good part of my life as a mechanic for Ford Motor Company double check the year if you have 1998 to 2001 it is going to be the 4.0L
check make sure transmission fluid not too low or could have plugged transmission filter.or code scan for faulty transmission fluid pressure sensor or transmission range sensor bad or out of adjustment.transmission could have failed.garage has to run fluid pressure test see if transmission failed or you could have faulty shift solenoid..
