Hi, I have a 98 XLT, and I am having transmission problems! It is stuck in low (I was told), The engine revs you can drive it but not over 35, the 4wd lights blink, we have tried shifting through 4wd but nothing changes have tried reversing up a hill didnt help. transmission shop says can be more then 1 thing can't tell how much will cost. NEED HELP!!!! any sugstions????
 






Must be in neutral, foot on the brake to shift into/out of low range. With key on, engine off brake on, trans in neutral shift into high or auto and have a friend get under and listen for the shift motor. If not working lightly tap on the motor and see if it shifts. You can also remove the shift motor and manually shift to high range. Could be the 4x4 switch, shift relay module, shift motor, GEM or transfer case that has a problem. Look in the sticky section for shift motor rebuild and 4405 t-case rebuild. Your shift motor is slightly different than the 96 model shown.
