1999 Ranger..Trans?

A question...I have an automatic 1999 ranger...I am able to shift through all the gears but the only one that engages is reverse..I understand worst case scenario is a new transmission...so I guess my question is does this sound major or something that could possibly be minor? Thanks

Can I ask what you were doing before the tran. strated this on you. you might have to check the linkage. Or just do what you were doing to knock it back into place.

I was actually driving when it went out..it's been a good truck...around 80k haven't used the 4x4 a whole lot...just trying to get an idea if it's worth repairing...Thanks

maybe stupid to ask this but have ya checked the tranny fluid? could also be a shift sylenoid or the tranny is just shot.
