Damaged differential, forward gears now not working
2003 Ranger 4 wheel drive
Was driving slowly (in a parking lot) when my rear differential let go. Rear wheels completely locked up. Had to pull it out of the way (about 10 feet). While pulling it both front and rear wheels were locked. When I got it towed home (on a flatbed trailer), I removed the rear wheel driveshaft and the damaged differential gears. I was hoping to run it on front wheels only until I can afford to repair it. Unfortunately, it will only run in reverse now. Could pulling it on the ground for about 10 feet have damaged the transmission? It will go into reverse just fine, but the forward gears aren't working. Transmission fluid looks good.
Any ideas?
Thanks
