How much damage did I do?

06 ford explorer, was trying to find out if wireing harness to transmission solenoid was damaged (OBD II said that it was a possibility) but mistakenly put ratchet on shift selector (attached to shift cable) attempted to remove the bolt and moved it back about 1 inch and heard a snap now will only drive forward, can push back in N

If you take your query to the, "Small Chassis Trucks" forum, you get great responses from knowledgeable people.

Partially depends on what transmission you have. Is it a V-8 Explorer or a V-6 Explorer? Be sure to include this information when you post in the "Explorer, Sport Trac, Mountaineer & Aviator" and/or "Clutch, Transmission, Differential, Axle & Transfer Case" forums.

Hard to tell from here . . . but based on the cause and the symptoms, I suspect the selector shaft is broken inside the valve body.
