90 F150 acts like it is stuck in gear... E4OD
The linkage works, moves freely, and everything is normal to the tranny.
The truck only starts in P or N, as it should.
The engine RPM changes and fluctuates as you go through the gears, as you would expect.
HOWEVER:
The truck is always in forward gear.
When you start the engine, it lurches forward and tries to drive away when engine starts.
It will drive forward in any gear selector position.
Even in R, it will drive forward.
When going from N to D, it will try to/or actually stall the engine, even though it never truely leaves forward gear.
This all happenend suddenly.
Worked right when I left, drove it 2 miles to my destination, and I noticed the symptoms when I was parking.
