check the drain plug magnet for metal bits. Mostly you can remove the rear extension housing with out removing the gear box and you will find a small gear on the cluster shaft ( bottom shaft) and a larger gear on the out put shaft ( tail shaft) . Check that the shifter fork is actually moving the larger gear or gear dog into 5th gear (Fork loose on selector rail) or check that there are still teeth on the smaller gear as excessive high speed under load will rear out the teeth
For this car, it can be really pricy or you can take my advise. I would recommend that you remove the 1 or 2 screws located on the reverse side of the shifter!. once you do this, you basically deactivate a safety device that is preventing you from shifting your car into gear! The safety device basically will not allow you to shift until you press firmly on the breaks and the key is installed. TAKE IT FROM AN EXPERT who has been there done that hundreds of times. you can find the screws on the reverse side of the shifter, just feel for them with your fingers.
all the early rangers up to the genII and maybe even more will work in you bronco....join the ranger station forums for a lot of insight on your bronco...
It sounds like the rack is broken inside the column.The gears would bind from old,hard grease and cause the already thin pot metal rack to break.The steering wheel and the upper column has to come apart to replace the rack,brass gear and the actuator/gear.
Make sure your emergency brake cable hasn't seized up. Some vehicles use reverse to adjust the brakes. Try moving the vehicle with the clutch pushed in, then with the clutch out to make sure it is not sticking, check your shifter linkage to make sure it is not bent or sticking.
there are dent and brass balls that are in your transmission and are used to hold the shifter into each gear when it starts poping out of that means that those dents and brass balls are worn down and i would suggest getting the transmission rebuilt.
