My 84 bronco II shifter will only shift between park, reverse, and neutral. The shifter feels like it is hitting a solid stop! Will not move into "D".
The linkage is fine. Feels internal to the transmission (12k miles only on transmission). Thoughts?

All of a sudden! Transmission has 12K miles on it. I hauled the BII home today on a car hauler. At least I could back off the trailer! Any thoughts?

That will be my next step. I'm leaving on military leave tomorrow for two weeks. Will be my next project when I return. I'll post what I find out! And no, approx 53 miles past warranty on the transmission! Third vehicle so not used much! Mostly hunting and fishing! http://www.broncoii4x4.com/forum/postin ... f=1&t=3444#
