your gear box has broken This means that your synchro's are shot. The plates that connect together while in gear. I had this happen on my 1992 Escort Hatchback, 1.9L 5spd Manual. Was expensive to fix, so i just sold it, and bought a 1996 Wagon.. 1.9L.
Replace the fuse, located in the fuse box under the hood..
If your battery is dead it wont come out of park. it has a solenoid that has to release ,if battery is dead it wont. hope this helps.
theses cars have what is called skipshift....if your gettin on it ..it wont let you shift into the next gear...you have to skip a gear.....if you get on it in first it wont let you shift to 2nd..you have to go to 3rd..and so on
my 2001 ford windstar wont shift out of first gear.
Your clutch is slipping.
Shift into gear first.
If your turbo 350 won't shift out of first gear, it could indicate a frozen transmission gear. You should first check to ensure the fluid levels are in the right place.
The clutch is bad or out of adjustment.
My first suspect would be the clutch. Have a competent mechanic take a look at it.
The transmission computer defaults to second gear when it detects a malfunction and sets a code.
No they are different. The zx2 injectors wont fit an Escort head.
Gear up then
