Ford Bronco or Explorer? They discontinued the Bronco in 1996. Is it stuck in 4 high or 4 low? Do you have a manual shifter or a push button? If you have an automatic electric system you may have a bad transfer case motor or switch. If you have the manual system, make sure that the shifting levers are free and not damaged or restricted from moving. Try rocking from forward to reverse while trying to shift out of 4x4.
90 Ford Bronco II: You have to put it in whichever gear you want it in before you start it or it wont shift at all. Then once you are going its extremely hard to shift into the other gears. Reverse is the only gear that sounds like its grinding.
There are shift solenoids in the transmission and apparently there's a problem them. I would get it to a trany shop and have it checked right away. If you continue to drive it you will ruin the transmission. Are sure you put the right computer in the vehicle? If you put a computer from a Bronco II with a manual trans in a vehicle with an automatic trans, the trans won't work right.
is the idle speed correct? do you shift into second before trying to engage reverse?, is the clutch ok, this is most likely not the trans at all but one of the above issues, the clutch is my guess.
