1997 Tranmission only has reverse

I have a 1997 Ford F150 4x4. I only have reverse gear, when you put into drive you have to rev up truck and then it will kick into gear & as long as you keep a little pressure on throttle it will stay in gear & shift fine if you let up on throttle it seems to go back into neutral & you have to start the the process all over. What is my problem? Please help. I have changed fluid & filter.

First off, Have you checked your fluid level . Be sure you ck it properly. Running in park . Did problem start before or after fluid change .

If the fluid level is correct, the transmission is probably worn out or busted internally.

Check manual 2nd gear and see if it engages properly.
