Rolling in park

[Davidcc]

hello, this is my first post, I just got a 91 4wd explorer. It's a real beater, but exactly what I need to get me through the winter months.


I have found my first problem with the vehicle : I noticed that it will roll backwards in Park, even the e-brake will not hold it.

What could casue this, and what can fix it?

Thanks in advance, I look forward to posting, especially posts that are not about problems

possibly your shift cable needs to be adjusted and you are not all teh way in park
or your parking prawl inside the trans is busted

You can repair your e brake or asjust the shoes to get it to work again.
It does not roll forward in P on a hill?

Sounds to me like the transmission is not getting fully into park (shifter linkage)

I just KNEW someone would ask about rolling forwards. I haven't tried it yet.

I did notice that one time it did not go all the way into park as it moved when I stepped on the throttle...


cable
prawl

2 things to check

thanks!
