Transmission won't shift
Boughta 1996 explorer with a rebuilt engine. Old owner had loaned it to a
buddy for a hunting trip and he treated the automatic transmission like a
manual. He
shifted through first second and drive the entire time. Transmission would go
into drive but wouldn't go above 2nd gear.
I replaced the valve body and solenoids and now it wont go into any gear. I
dont know what happened. I got new solenoids again and am going to be
putting them into the old valve body and putting it back in. The shifter
currently doesnt seem to lock into the gears. It kinda feels like its about to go
but then doesnt and i cant be sure it doesnt hit the detents right.
I have a feeling im looking at a trip to the salvage yard. I cant afford a rebuild
at this point in time. Anything I can look at beforehand?
