YOU probably have a problem with the clutch not fully releasing when you are driving.


Clutch Drag Kills Synchros

state the symptom , the FSM lists about 100.
and year,

fails to shift up or down automatically.?

noise.?

stuck in 1 gear, name it?

possable bad brake lite switch. also check fuses.

On the 1995 Jimmy, the shift cable can come loose on the mount on the side of the transmission where the cable meets the trans. When it slips, the alignment goes off and causes the driver to not be able to put the trans into park. If you take a long stick you can push the shift arm on the trans to the park position and your trans will go into park.....what you (and I) really need to know is how to take the shift cable mount apart and reset it.

Pull the trans,strip it down & replace the worn parts,
like the synco rings,that should be obvious

You don't need the engine running or drive it, to try & shift
through the gears

check make sure brake lights are on sounds like switch at pedal

Ford vans are popular for this. Please try these steps
1. Press all the way down on the brake before attempting to shift again 2. Ensure your steering wheel is not locked in place 3. If your situated on a steep drive way, hill, ***** etc, move your truck manually to a flat starting location 4. Your brake safety actuator is going bad and needs to be changed out 5. Rest assure this is something you can do yourself as long as you have the tools and parts

I am sorry but i know this symptom on this exact transmission and u are going to need an overhaul.

suggestion,s
try to shift through gears manually form 1 back to drive, if this dosn't work you have to get manual to replace 1 to 2 shift selinoid

find a new mechanic and have him check the linkage.or forgot to plug it in.
