Hello, I have a 2005 Explorer, (V6, rear wheel drive, over 210,000 miles). Yesterday I was driving on the highway with no problems, but when I stopped at a restaurant and restarted, first gear wouldn't kick in. The "CHECK TRANSMISSION" light came on and the "O/D Off" light started blinking. I was able to start driving when I put it in "3", and once I gained some speed, put it back in "D". Drove 35 miles back with no problems on the highway. Came to a stop and had to try the same method to make it all the way home. Tried to park in reverse but the reverse wouldn't kick in. Drove around the block using the method described above and parked head first. Haven't driven it since. Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
