e4od lost gears HELP
HELPPPPP!!!!
(1995 F250 7.3 Powerstroke, 4x4, no mods, 180k miles)
I was on my way to pick up a load of wood, and when I went to back the truck up to load it, reverse just was not there, I still had drive. Then on my way home, it would not shift into 3rd or OD.
I bought the truck from a friend and he had the trans rebuilt about 4k miles ago maybe 5k, but not long enough to reason it blowing up again.
I was able to get it onto my trailer to take in, but if I could fix it myself that would be amazing.
any info would be greatly appreciated.

sean9049: No the OD light was not flashing, but I will look again, I may have missed it.
Fordman67: If reverse is mechanical, why did my 3 and OD stop as well? and what is broke?

The OD OFF light on the end of the shift handle.
Because reverse, third, and overdrive all use the direct clutch. I think the direct clutch has failed.
