A4LD Problem

[ramon6682]

I have a problem with my transmission in my 1993 ford explorer. About a month a go i was revving it up in park and it slammed into drive, kinda. The shifter didnt move. So for a couple weeks park, and neutral were drive gears as well as 1st thru overdrive. My reverse didnt work. I was driving in park one day by accident and there was a loud clank and park would no longer drive. My drive gears still worked and my reverse started working again. Slowly over the last couple weeks its been harder for it to shift into drive. The gear shifter works fine, but the trans would not want to shift. I have had to rev it up to anywhere from 3 to 5000 rpm to get it to shift in. It finally quit shifting into drive all together. my reverse still works but not drive. Also park will not hold the truck. I have to use the parking brake. Please help. Thank you

When you dropped it into drive from park (for whatever reason, i don't know) You most likely threw the lingage out of adjustment. From then on it might have been partially engaging gears, and driving it like that has either A)ruined the transmission or B) The linkage needs to be properly adjusted.
