1991 Ford F150 4x4 automatic w?overdrive no reverse grinds loud
When I put the truck in Reverse it grinds really loud, if I put it in drive it quits, if i got back up into neutral and rev it up a little bit it will also grind till i change gears again.
I have a 5 speed trans-axle that will not come out of reverse. It feels like the shifter is stuck. If I push really hard I can get it almost into neutral,but that's it. It just grinds like it's not quite in gear. I can get back into reverse, but no other gear. This problem started all of sudden. I've never had it happen before.I have a 5 speed trans-axle that will not come out of reverse. It feels like the shifter is stuck.

cannot be sure here without a on site inspection but i would hazard a guess and say the flex drive plate has broke around the crankshaft retaining bolts ,its a gearbox out job to repair ,the plate holds the torque converter in position to the engine crank ,Dont get this problem with a manual transmission
My 1995 Ford pick-up did that to. You should give it about 10 seconds from pressing the clutch to going into reverse.Dealer said not to put it in reverse to quick.give 10 seconds.
is the idle speed correct? do you shift into second before trying to engage reverse?, is the clutch ok, this is most likely not the trans at all but one of the above issues, the clutch is my guess.
My 94 did the same thing. In a automatic, you have to come to a full stop, it usually grinds when in 4L ,And for the shifter, I had to look at mine, 2w is all the way forward to the dash, then 4H is toward you 1 click, and "N" is the next toward you, then 4L , you have to push the lever down and pull backwards. Always come to a full stop when changing gears and wait a few seconds before changing direction.
I have the same problem in my 1991 Integra LS Sedan Automatic, when i put it in reverse it makes a grinding noise and won't engage...i've been told the "reverse fork" or something is probably bent which can be common from rocking a car from "D" to "R" to get unstuck from mud or snow and to fix this the tranny needs to be taken apart and fixed, or if any cheaper then replace the transmission. Could also do an auto to manual trans conversion, but those are the only options. Fixing the specific reverse problem would be cheaper than rebuilding the whole trans which a lot of ppl say is the solution
