check your transmission control relay.. it might be stuck..
The shift cable is loose or mis adjusted.
It has a rack and pinion.
put a can of trans x one of the pumps are probably stuck follow the directions on the can
either shift relay, or shift modual It does not drop to first gear, it drops into limp mode, that means you have only gear 1 and 2. this can happen, because of wrong signals coming from a faulty speed sensor (on the gearbox) or usually the solenoid or the filters in it are blocked. Replace the solenoid and your tranny will work again like new.
A cog and gear attached to the transmission which turns a worm driver attached to the tach
how do you put gear shift back into 1993 ford f-150 5 speed transmission
You have to step on the brake pedal to shift to any gear from "Park"
If the gear shift isn't free at all then there could be a problem with the shift censor. If this isn't the case then the linkage in the transmission is broken.
Lost communication with the gear shift module.
Could be a speed sensor or shift solenoid. Its probably electrical related rather that transmission related. Had the same problem with my 92 Grand Caravan. Speed Sensor fixed the problem.
Transmission Control Solenoid
There is a plastic piece inside the gear shift console that breaks and makes it impossible to move out of park without special effort. Do not try to force the gear shift or you will just make things worse.
