93 Explorer tranny problem!
I did a little research on this but all of the sources said the only option is total replacement.
Details: 93 Explorer XLT, 4.0 SOHC, Automatic OD, 4x4, 95,000 miles.
It won't shift from first to second, but second, third and fourth gears work fine. Reverse also doesn't work and when engaged a clicking noise, like a zip tie sound is heard.
I have limited experience with transmissions and I highly doubt that total replacement is necessary.
Thanks in advance, Matt.

the trannys you have, and I have... arn't that great. It is not uncommon for the tranny to blow < 100k miles. Did you change the tranny fluid and filter often? did you do a lot of towing?
Odds are if something is wrong, you'll have to get a new tranny. I'm not a mechanic, but if they somehow find a way to just replace a part inside of it to fix the problem, I think it would only save you a few hundred b/c the labor will still be insane. It would be worth it to then just get a new tranny.

Its a 93, I thought that was a SOHC motor, in any case that doesn't matter, its the same tranny. The thing is that I am sure that I don't need a total tranny replacement, as a new development has arisen, it sometimes will shift just fine, other times it won't move.
Manual 1 does not work when it won't shift normally, it makes the clicking noise.

It sounds like you lost a clutch band. I rebuilt mine for $250.00 but I don't recommend it for the novice weekender. If you do decide to tackle it, let me know and I'll gladly give you any help I can from my experience.

I got a quote from a friend that has a tranny builder for his race cars, he is gonna do it for $200.
I am gonna follow my friend on his way home with the exploder. if it shifts normally in 2, 3, & OD then it should be okay.
