93 ford e150 won't shift into 4th gear?
I have a 1993 ford e150 that I recently discovered won't shift into 4th gear. I figured it out after counting the gears when I noticed it was revving unusually high at 65mph (normal highway speed limit in my area) I checked the transmission fluid and it seemed to be at the right level. Could my transmission be going bad? It only has 147,000 miles on it. It sat in a lot for years before I bought it Any advice is appreciated.
There's a good chance your transmission is going out.
Fourth (may be) is "Overdrive". May be you have something switched off, like OD. Check your owners manual or research on line to see if your vehicle has such a feature.
The reason you might want to switch OD off is if you're going up a slight incline and your transmission is constantly shifting back and forth between drive and OD. Switching it off will put the transmission in no higher a gear than drive, and the transmission won't be doing all that crazy hard work of shifting up and down, which hurts gas mileage. But this is just a guess, I'm not the expert on this.
Hope this helps.

There's an OD lock out button on the gear selector is it lit if it is then it won't shift into 4th gear also if there are trans issues, certain ones the OD light will blink but if there's a issue most likely your check engine light won't come on nor will the OD light blink all the time If in doubt take it to a reputable mechanic and have it checked out
- My 2000 Ford Taurus won't shift into fourth gear is it ok on a 700 mile round trip drive? I have a 2000 ford Taurus and it doesn't shift into fourth gear anymore. Its been that way for 2 years. It runs fine just doesn't shift into fourth gear and the transmission light does come on after a while of driving it. I was wondering if it would be ok to take it on a 700 mile round trip drive? I know its not good for it I just need to know if I'm going to be stranded on the highway somewhere because my trans went out.

- 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 won't shift into drive after being driven. Takes longer than should to shift into drive when first started? It will go in reverse fine. First thing in the morning when I leave for work, it will shift into drive on it's own, but takes a bit longer than it should. After getting it warm, won't shift into drive at all. I can shift down to 1st or 2nd, then back into drive and it will "pop up" into drive within a second or 2. I also have a ODB2 error P1744 (Torque Converter circuit).
