1998 Explorer - No Reverse

Pooh Bear
15 years ago

Drove the SUV over to a neighbors house to pick up some stuff.

Pulled up the driveway and into the turn around.

Put the transmission in reverse and heard a pop noise

Just sat there like it was in neutral and it wouldn't back up.

Luckily, the area in front of me was clear and uphill.

So I put it in drive and drove up the hill a bit, then put

it in neutral and coasted backwards enough to turn it

around and drive it back down the driveway and drive it home.

It drives forward with no problems. Just no reverse.

I have no idea what to look for. I would like to inspect

what I can on the outside before I have to take it to a

transmission shop to work on the innards.

Can someone here give me any ideas of what to look for.

1998 Ford Explorer, 2 door, automatic transmission.

Thanks.

Pooh Bear
