only have reverse.

[Cynthia]

It won't go forward. Working perfectly no indication of any problems. Killed it went back started it and it wouldn't go forward only in reverse. happened to me in my 2002 Ford expedition and a friends son's did the exact same thing killed it at the store and when started it again no forward gears. Never slipped or gave any indication of a problem

Welcome to the Forum

 

[Cynthia]

Thank you. Glad to have somewhere to go for help

Have you check the trans fluid level?

 

[Cynthia]

Yes it's full and doesn't smell burnt

Has any fluid been added to the trans lately?
Reverse requires the highest line pressure, so that tells you the pump is working since it will move in reverse. See how it works when the trans fluid is cold (thicker).

Will do

 

[Bedrck47]

Not to insult you but did you check the level with the engine running? I know you said it was full

Test it without any pedal application. You will feel it engauge at idle. Most people will put their foot into it if it doesn't go into gear thinking it will help - it doesn't. Should it go into gear while you have the pedal down you may end up toasting the gear sets inside. The resulting grinding sound you hear is the $100's leaving your wallet.

Oh, oh. Not sounding good. I worry you will be needing a rebuild. Sounds like the forward drum is stripped out. Not uncommon with these rigs.

Good luck
