    91 Explorer Auto to Manual conversion

    If i spend $500 bucks... from what I can tell from reading this, will it not just break again really soon? But yes I have definitly thought about doing just that.

    91 Transmission, No reverse. Dec 30.

    The thing is I think it wont move in neutral... thats the wierd part... I cant figure out why it wouldnt move. Maybe it is "locked" in to drive or something??? Anyways I will get friends, maybe I just need more muscle, but I have moved it myself before. I will check dipstick again and get...

    91 Transmission, No reverse. Dec 30.

    I would like to say I am a master mechanic, but all I know how to fix is what has broken before. Can you attempt to describe a burt odor? is it just how it sounds kind of "firey" smell? and would this smell show up after a few minutes of being on, in idle? (i can't drive it anywhere.)

    Yes the gear shifter goes into reverse and the RPMs go up when i press the gas. I will go check fluid now..... I do check regularily and the dipstick is usually looking like the right color(translucent red like, you know the color :-).... but I will make certain right now.

    Thanks, I figured catastrophy but was hoping for something less...... Anyways I will try.... there was no slipping or any problems with reverse until now, does that lead you to believe something different for the reverse clutch?

    My auto transmission will not go into reverse?? I have forward gears, I have read alot of these threads and can not find a possible problem. I have sufficient auto mechanic skills, however the automatic transmission does "frighten" me some what. If someone could point me in the right...

    91 Trans.... Yep another tranny problem

    My transmission has been acting kinda funny ever since I got it 2 months ago. First the overdrive wouldnt ever kick in, and then sometimes it would for like a minute or 2 then back down to drive it would go. THis happened when the gear selector was in OD. Then it started making some loud...
