I have a 2001 XLT V-6 with 144K miles. I just had a tranny fluid drain/change (not a flush) a couple weeks ago and it seems to be shifting fine. But I had something strange happen yesterday:
About 100 miles into a trip, the wife pulls over to the side of the road, puts it in Park, for me to take over driving. I shift from Park into Drive and begin to merge back onto the road .......... the Explorer is moving, but I notice its not shifting as I expect and the RPMs are way higher than normal.
My son noticed the gear selector was not exactly in 'D'rive - it was kinda between Neutral and Drive. So I shifted back to Park, then into the proper Drive position and it drove/shifted normal.
So what kinda of mode/gear was I in when the gear selector was not in the proper position ? Never had that happen before.
Thanks.
