in my dads ford that im driving right now, the transmission wont shift out of 1st gear. it happened after driving out to the pecos river. didnt do any serious wheeling, just down dirt roads and through a couldnt mud holes that were on the road. dont know what tranny it has, its a 85 f150 2wd, the transmission, engine, and rear axle are all BRAND NEW! need some help. if you need anymore info about it ill try to find it but i gotta get it fixed, trying to sell it to get a dodge.

what kind of kickdown linkage does it have? my wifes blazer had the same problem, it ended up being the vacuum kickdown hose had broken. new hose, problem fixed. if it is a cable linkage for your kickdown, then the cable could be stuck or broken.

hope this helps a little.

I agree. I had a chebby blazer with the same problem. Drove it down to the tranny shop in 1st gear and turned out to be a vacuum hose off....

I am pretty sure its not a C6, i took it over to my buddies house who is a Ford guy, he said it wasnt a c6 since it was an overdrive tranny.

Ya i looked and the vaccuum hose is attached on the driver side around the back of the tranny.

and No forget CO come to NM. dont know when were gonna have a get together or anything. but as soon as i find a truck im gonna make sure we have some.

It's probably an E4OD tranny. I agree that the vacuum modulator or the hose leading to it is broken or off.
