I own a 1993 Ford Ranger XL 4x4. V6 155,000 miles. Automatic trans.
Just to give you a little background, I am the 3rd owner, and as I was told the vehicle was never used for any hauling or heavy loads, I do some light landscaping with it.
Yesterday my father got my vehicle stuck in the woods using it to dump some brush and dirt. In his attempt to get it out he was shifting from Reverse to Drive with the engine revving, this of course didnt bode well for my truck, a buddy pulled her out with chains, and while the engine runs and turns over no problem, none of the gears would engage.
Ive put some additive and transmission fluid in this morning, but the truck didnt move. Since I was not going to throw a new tranny into the truck i put it up on craigslist. About 6 hours after putting in the transmission fluid I made a last ditch attempt to get it off of my street and into my driveway, I found that when i push the engine at about 3,000 rpms, she heaves forward, same in reverse, heaves and complains but I got it all of the 30 feet to my driveway.
I need advice as to if there is another problem that isnt the transmission, and what this could cost me. I am not extremely mechanically inclined, If anyone has any idea what could be the culprit, I would greatly appreciate it!
Any information or ideas would be appreciated, im in the dark as it is.
