Have a 93 explorer with a 5 speed that I love. But it recently stopped going into 4th gear.
Actually it "goes" into 4th, but nothing happens. It's like it's in neutral. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th all work fine. It slides into the 4th position with no grinding or any other weird noises, but there's no 4th.
A mechanic at a shop suggested the shifter itself that moves the forks may be shot.
Could that actually be it? Or is it tranny time?
Nice old rig so selling it is not really an option right now, but neither is a new tranny right now in this wonderful economy we're in.
Any id's? Or Cheep fixes?
