Transmission shifting problems

Do You do have reverse

I tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped
me repair transmission problem in my ford explorer. it wont move forward or reverse, engine is good both solenoids for forward and reverse work.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and works perfect! got it from www.reliable-store.com

Sounds like the reverse band or servo has gone out. Transmission shop needed for a confirmation.

Yes ,you need to replace only ,after checking vacuum line that runs to it and make sure it's working correct

ANY Slipping your done,internally worn out

The slipping overheats the clutches,how did
that get by you?

i have a 2003 chev s-10 pickup with automatic/ 4 cyl I am not able to move shifter from park to drive i believe my shifter cable is binding
gears selection matches fine when shifting. But will not get out park go to reverse or neutral selection only drive, 3rd, 2nd and 1st
do i need to replace shifting linkage cable?

it may be a bad transmission modulator valve located on the side of your transmission,vacum operated. a sudden downshift or forward shift when unexpected is sign of a bad modulator valve or a vacum leak to the transmission.best to shop around for a garage w/references when it comes to transmission work though. check all the vacum lines to your transmision,you need to look on the underneath side of your truck on the side of transmission for a loose or disconnected vacum line on the side of the transmission. when you feel the vacum line,follow it to the top of engine,the vacum line is about 3/8th line,and may be disconnected or losing air. to make this short,when you drive the car,start out in low gear and shift the transmission,manually from 1st to 2nd to 3rd does it do right with no slipping? if it does this right and shifts great manually,the modulator valve on the side of the transmissions bad,or a bad vacum leak in-between.thank you for choosing fixya.com

4l60e or 4l80e transmission?

Is the stick moving? or is it 'stuck' in the reverse position as well? There are adjustments but it seems more likely that your 'stick' has come unstuck from the gear levers that actually put the gears in the right spot. Have someone look at the transmission while you move the stick to see if the levers are moving and put your response here.

In 9 out of 10 cases when I see this problem in the ranger, it is the planetary gear in the transmission. It is made of the cheapest metal available. It breaks usually from going to park before the truck stops or switching from reverse to drive while still rolling. Just a Idea , But I hope it isn't that . Reverse will work fine for a while, and have no forward gears.
