I have an issue with my 2002 ford explorer transmission. Every gear that I put it into including park and reverse it will move forward. There is no reverse nuetral or park. I havent gone to a mechanic yet. Anybody have any ideas. Also I was thinking something electric due to it draining my battery within hours.

First, check linkage, then may need to drop trans pan for a look at the gear selection valve.

SOURCE: Car wont move.

Could be that your linkage is broken and just looks like it is shifting or a bad tranny module or tranny but i would look at the linkage and see if it is hooked up to the tranny.

If Drive Selector switch is properly aligned then a shift silonoid might be the problem.

The shifter needs to be inspected. If The shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.


There are many other possibilities.

Also i suggest you to refer these gear shift issues, which are mostly noticed. These are direct links with appropriate solutions to the specific problems of gear ****.

My 98 ford explorer won't go in reverse... it will drive forward and go into lower gear but not reverse...is this gonna be a big tranny job????

I know this sounds stupid but will it back up if you put it in 4wd low? If yes its a transfer case problem. If no, they the transmission will need rebuilt. Also can you push the vehicle forward or backward in park?

Vechile will not shift into park or reverse

The first thing to check is the linkage. Sometimes the linkage will slip, Block the wheels on the car (both front and rear) to prevent rolling. Locate the shift linkage on your transmission, and loosen the nut. You should be able to move the shift lever through all the gears, including "P" and "R". Place the transmission shift lever in "Park" (on the transmission) then move the shift lever (inside the car) in the "P" position and tighten the nut (not a bad idea to use a new locking nut here) You should now be able to shift through all gears. If this does not work, you have a more serious problem that may include a worn or broken belt or broken parking pawl inside the transmission.

98 ford explorer will drive but you put in in reverse will not go

It is possible that the shift linkage is out of adjustment and is going into neutral and not making it to Reverse, try moving the gear selector slowly from park, through reverse to Neutral, and see if it will go into reverse somwhere in between. If this does not work ,you may have Reverse gear failure, a common problem with explorer/ranger transmissions. unfortunatly it requires rebuilding the transmission

Goes into all gears & 4wd, but will not move or attempt to move.

check the fluid level,sometimes the torque converter will drain back into the transmission overfilling it and leak out over long periods of time
