My little borhter drove his Explorer to school this mornin and when he came home today he said he had no first gear. i checked the fluid level and he was about a quart low. after adding fluid he still has no first gear and the transmission is makin a grinding noise in first gear. 2nd gear is working fine as well with all the others. What could be the issue?
Time for an overhaul of the transmission.

You have a serious transmission problem, by driving the car you are making a bad problem worse. You will need to have the transmission overhauled.

on the bottom of the transmission pan you will find a nut with a hex or torx in the middle you remove the center plug when the truck is hot and running on a level serface the trans fluod will dribble out if it does not dribble out it is low if it runs out fast a steedy streem it is over full now their is a part that screws into this for a fill if you remove the pan you will see how it works the pan has a pipe/ stack that when full of fluid the top of the pipe is at the full point if you remove the large nut the stack and plug will come out the best way to change the trans fluid is take it to some place that has a fluid exchange equment this will get all the fluid out including the torque converter

Check the transmission linkage cable that runs from the steering column under the dash to the trans under the car. make sure that the cable is not damaged and that all connections are tight.
