SOURCE: 98 Ford Explorer won't move in reverse

Sometimes it may just be the fluid level, if you have drive , drive it around the block a few times, then park it on level ground and hold the brake and go through all the gears slowley, two times. put it in park, open the hood and check the fluid level, the dip stick in the back by the fire wall, take it out and clean it, read the stick. SOME need to be checked in Nutral, if this is the case do so but be carefull that the truck has stopped moving when put in nutral!!! if it is low only put in the right fluid, and a little at a time, while it is still running DO NOT OVER FILL !!!!!!!! Also sometimes it is a SENSOR problem, and in most cases not to hard or costly to replace.

My 2002 ford explorer sport trac is slipping gears and has no reverse. It will go in 1st and 2nd and shift into drive about 45 mph. what could be wrong?

It's worn out . How many miles on the vehicle ? Was the transmission ever replaced or rebuilt . Take it to a qualified transmission shop , that would be your best bet . They can hook up diagnostic equipment an know what's wrong in just a little time. Could have code's stored , shift solenoid problems . Thing's you won't be able to tell .

2004 Ford Explorer AWD. what could be wrong? abs light is on, 4 wheel drive ligh is flashing, truck is stuck in 4 wheel drive

Sounds like you have an electronic shift diff to put it in 2 or 4 wheel drive. You could have a bad position sensor, or shift motor/linkage problem. Unfortunately, unless you have the diagnostic tool to see which is the problem, it is best to take it too a good tranny shop.
