probably the transmition try 1 or 2 if it has it if you can move in more than one gear you may have just lost one gear and the tranny and it can probably be rebuilt...also could be linkage try moving the shifter up and down over the drive before resting it on drive
If things are worn alittle It helps to get it out of 4x4
it will drive but when in reverse it wont move
check your transmission fluid. if it is not low, when is the last time you changed your filter.
Yes , the 2001 Ford Escort is front wheel drive
13,I think- I drive an escort
you cant drive there theres alittle something called the Indian ocean in the way!
that sounds like your transsion you should have it looked at although you can drive it with out reverse for quite a while
my 1997 ford escort wagon 2.0 i put a transmission in it it changes low second but not drive what is the problem
no , it's front wheel drive
Drive...
Carefully.
Sounds to me like the tranny is gone...Your reverse gears are the last to go. You can try some of the Transmission Medic Fluids they have out....but it wont repair what is already gone it just might help you get it to the shop or the junk yard!
