Found it. This Manual transmission has a hydraulic clutch. The fluid resevoiri s on the firewall by the wheel well. Low fluid causes sticky/ hard shifting. Very low fluid cause no shifting. After filling with recommended DOT 3 brake fluid all is well. Except where the old fluid leaked out.
with engine not running,turn key to on then put transmission in neutral then start engine this will usually fix the problem also check fuses there is one fuse that will cause the lockout if fuse is blown
Depends on the type of transmission you have. If it's an automatic, check the transmission fluid with the vehicle running to make sure it isn't low. If it's not and the transmission slips you've probably got an internal problem inside the transmission. If it's a manual transmission it could be the hydraulic fluid is low if you have a hydraulic clutch, or it could be the clutch itself. If you've got an older clutch that's not hydraulic, it could be out of adjustment, or the clutch itself is bad.
With the engine running , stop , hold foot on brake pedal , shift transmission to neutral , select 4 low , put transmission in gear
Hydraulic oil is very thin and will leak if it gets a chance. It does not burn out but after several hundred hours it may start to disappear Your transmission oil might leak into the engine or the rear end due to bad seals, however you have to determine how much oil you are using over what period of time. you will use some oil thru normal running conditions ,but not very much.
You do this by pouring transmission fluid into the tube that your transmission dipstick is in. To check for fluid level, drive the car for a few miles to make sure everything is warmed up, then park on a level spot, with the engine running, put the transmission in drive, then in reverse, then in park. With the engine still running, remove the dipstick and wipe it clean, and reinsert it, then remove it again and check the fluid level.

There are many reasons why a transmission may not engage. Since the question is not more specific, here are a couple possibilities: If it's an automatic transmission, and you are unable to move the shifter, the problem could be caused by the neutral lockout switch or the release relay. If the shifter can move into position but the transmission won't engage, it could be, 1)low fluid, 2) the hydraulic pump, 3) the internal valve body, 4) internal seals, 5) the clutch pack. If it's a stick shift and you aren't able to shift into gear with the engine running but it shifts when the engine is off, the clutch isn't disengaging. If it goes into gear but nothing happens when you let out the clutch, the clutch is worn out. There are other possibilities, but that's an overview of some of the possibilities.
The daytime running light module on a 1996 Ford Explorer can be found behind the bumper. It is on the driver's side of the car.
The tube where you check the transmission level is the same place that you add fluid in to it. Use a funnel that has a long neck on it to do this. Always check in with the engine at normal operating temp and running. Good luck. That answer is wrong. I have a 2003 Explorer and there is not a dipstick to check or fill tranny fluid. you must do everything from underneath the car. you also must buy a special tool to put fluid in it
If you were using 4WD high , with the engine running just turn your selector dial back to 2WD If you were using 4WD LOW , with the engine running and the vehicle stopped with your foot on the brake pedal , shift the transmission to neutral then rotate your selector switch to 2WD then put your transmission in gear ( or park )
I have 112,000 miles on my 2003 Ford Explorer and it is still running strong!
