Two days ago, I started to back out of a parking space in my 2002 Explorer 2WD and it would hardly move. The forward gears seemed to engage without any trouble once I got it clear of the parking space. I managed to add a couple of quarts of Mercon V transmission fluid today (Not an easy thing to do with this year's model; no fill pipe up above so had to pump it in through the bottom of the transmission pan). Anyway, initially it started engaging in reverse and I thought the problem was solved. But today the same thing happened. Forward gears are engaging as usual but in reverse it either doesn't move at all or sometimes creeps along at a very weak snail's pace. So the car is useless right now. I'm 74 years old and I've got to get this fixed as soon as possible with the winter coming on.
Any help here will be very, very much appreciated.
