I am sure you checked this but just a suggestion. have you tried to hold the gear selector up as far as you can? possibly the linkage is a bit out of wack?

If yours is setup the same as my 97 Explorer, the transmission range sensor is plugged into the drivers side of the trans with an 11 wire connector..

I presume the shift linkage connects to the sensor.
