    2004 Ford Explorer won't go into gear

    I was driving down the road when all of a sudden my Explorer made a screeching noise and would not drive. I pulled over to the side of the road and tried to put it into gear and it did nothing, no noise, no shifting into gear, nothing. What could be the problem?
