Sport Trac Transmission Problem

strocket · 04-20-2006, 01:57 PM

ok, heres my problem..... I was going to back the Trac out of the driveway and put it in the street so I could sweep. So I put it in reverse and backed out of the driveway, then put it into drive like every other time I back out of the drive way and I heard a click, kinda like a snap I guess??? And then I couldnt go forward. Kind of like the transmission was slipping. So to get out of the street I put it in second gear (automatic) and took it around the block. Everything was normal (i had to shift it to drive once i got going), it shifted as it should, reversed, and I also jacked up the back end so that the rear tires were off the ground and put it in drive and they spun like normal. I didnt notice any struggle or weird noises. So whats the problem? Any one have any ideas? Thanks in advanced for your help!!
