I have a 98 windstar 3.0 v6. When shifted into reverse or drive or the low gears I don't feel the transmission engage and the van won't move. I can put it in neutral and the van will drive forward, no slips or any issue shifting through gears for ~15 miles that I drove home. I can turn the van off and shift to neutral and it is actually neutral (I can push it backward or forward). Shift linkage is good, it moves as I shift from park to the low gears. I assumed that would indicate an issue with the neutral safety switch aka transmission range sensor so I changed it. The vehicle still does the same thing.
Would I be wrong assuming it's an electrical issue? Any thoughts on what could be causing this?
