1993 explorer sport
i have a 1993 explorer with a 5 speed manual tranny . my wife was driving the other day and called me on the cell phone to let me know that she stopped and while taking off again the tranny locked up while she was going into 2nd gear. i trailored the explorer and was bringing it back home . when i got it off the trailor it hit the ground hard and the tranny unstuck . i dont understand this at all . well its been a week now and all is currently normal.
i spoke to a mechanic and he told me this was some kind of safety feature ford has on the tranny to keep from causing damage . hmm dont know?
 






It sounds to me like the tranny tried to go into two ggears at the same time and locked itself up. Jarring it released the stuck cluster and allowed everything to return to normal.
