91 Explorer with 155k miles....had a rebuilt trans in 2009. A couple of months ago it started having trouble shifting from 1-2 to where I had to left off gas to get it to shift into 2. I had it in ODrive. Coming home on Sunday, it just wouldn't get out of 1st so I drove home 3 miles coasting and gassing it. Stupid me didn't think about drive or low gears. Reverse works fine too.
From reading some discussions on here, I thought maybe solenoid or vac modulator.
Took it to transmission place that gave me a rebuild. They say that while Ex was up in air, it shifted fine but when its on the ground it doesn't. ATF looks good, no metal in pan. They said it might be the clutch. They recommended another rebuild. But said just keep it in drive.
Drive shifts fine. I always used ODrive.
I'm sure its ok to use drive, I don't do a lot of highway driving.
Also trans shop said when I get it up to 55 to put it in ODrive.
Any ideas?
