The transmission shifts through all the gears except drive. It sounds like the engine is running a high rpm but the gauge shows 2500. Is this problem an expensive one?

The RPM's don't sound too far out of line for that speed. Has there been a change from before?

Turns out the transmission was not the problem. It was a front hub bearing. Thanks for your assistance.
