OK. Been a long day.
My vacation was cut short due to not reaching my destination.
We left Las Vegas and was traveling downhill (I-15 Cajon Pass, Phelan,CA) at about 65-70 mph when we here a strange noise.Whizzing, PSSST sound??
I look down and the engine rpm is near idle. I press the accelerator and the trans bumps and shudders a bit.
I then lost all gears. We were able to coast downhill and exit right and stop in a gas station.
No forward gears and no reverse. Trans will not hold vehicle in park. Had the Explorer towed the 200 miles back home...don't ask $$$. No choice really. We also had our 2 Labs with us.
It was rebuilt once about 4 yrs ago. I presume the trans will need a rebuild. What broken parts should I be looking for? What are the common causes for loss of all gears, forward and reverse?
