My sister has a '99 Explorer- 4.0 V6, 4wd, auto trans.
She says that twice in the last year (today, most recently) she's backed up out of a parking space/driveway and then tried to shift to drive, but the gearshift won't go past neutral.
Putting it up into Park and trying again won't do it, but Park-shutdown-restart and it's back to normal.
Any thoughts? Shifter cable binding? Some sort of interlock?
