Was in the process of buying a used ranger from dealer. I drove it about 50 miles the other day and it sounded fine. Parked it for about 15 mins and when I got back in it would not shift into gear while running. Could shift it into gear when not running and drive it but could not change gears while running. If I forced it I could get it into reverse while running but it made a load grinding noise. I had it towed back to the shop. When it got off the tow lift it ran fine..? Any ideas on what this could be? Help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks in advance!!
