- 1996 XLT 5.0 AWD
96 Explorer 5.0 AWD with just under 150k and regularly serviced.
Used my explorer to tow our new camper for its first camping trip last weekend. Loaded it was under 3,500 and it towed with no problems at all. The round trip was around 400 miles. The day after we got home I hooked up the camper again to go out to the RV dealer to have a part replaced and when I pulled into the lot, stopped, and tried to place the gear selector into park it would not engage until I forced it in. The gear selector is really sloppy now and hard to tell which gear it is. The tranny itself seems to work and shift fine. So where do I start? Tear apart the column or check the linkage below? Anyone had this happen before?
thanks!
