Wrong trani fluid then no forward gears

[lvflyer]

I'm not sure what to do about this. I've got a 94 XLT 4X4 that spent most of its life in Las Vegas so no body rust. It has been modified cosmetically with wheels, all terrain TAs, billet grill, brush guard, altezza tail lights, bright eyes, remote start, stereo, Edelbrock shocks, neoprine donuts, etc. Interior is in excellent shape and even has the arm rest. I have been trying to sell it since I have a Mountaineer as well and use it mostly. Last fall I noticed a small drip of transmission fluid under the XLT and checked the fluid level. It was a little low so I put the only fluid I had, a quart of Type F and a quart of quickshift, thinking that is for Ford and the leak got worse. Then it started slipping one night and I made it home, but barely. After sitting all winter it will not engage in forward gears, but will in reverse. So now I don't know if I should invest anymore in this to repair it or part it out. I would appreciate opinions and some idea of the value as it sits now and of the parts since they not rusted through and the interior is excellent. I was selling for the cost of modifications as a working 4x4, $3500, but now ???

It's Parts.

Type F fluid literally dissolves the clutch material in a Mercon V trans.

List it for sale on here. You may get a better price with someone who has a a4ld trans lay'n around.

You Killed an Ex! Murderer!

Now us vultures have to come and pick it's bones!

Why will it engage in reverse, but not in any foward gears. It doesn't even try to engage, no rpm change or any forward jerk, nothing. New rules won't let me post for sale. Not a paid member.

Forward clutches are gone.

Forward clutch is applied in every gear but reverse.

Junkyard trans from a wrecked X or a manual trans swap?

Definitely sounds like a rig worth keep'n

If he were in AZ I would be tempted to play the vulture.

Maybe I'll keep it and put a snow plow on it. About the time I do that we probably won't get as much snow for several years.

I hate to strip it since it is in such good shape, but I don't need 2 vehicles and history has shown me when one sits around not used it falls apart.
