91 Explorer revs up but won't go

I have a 5-speed 4x4 1991 Ford Explorer. The problem that I am experiencing is that when I put it into ANY gear it will rev, causing me to burn up a lot of gas, but wont go ANYwhere. The fastest it will get up to is about 12 miles an hour no matter which gear I throw it in, end its gotta rev up extremely high just to get where it will move forward (or backwards) at all.

    I have a Ford Falcon 2000, I put it into gear and it just revs, unless I rev it really hard which I hate doing cause it eats heaps of my damn gas, then it'll move, this is when I'm going forward or reversing, sometimes it will go back or forward, but jolts first and thats how I know its kicked into gear...finally...its getting worse so I've stopped driving it now I'm car pooling...sux!!! I've taken it to mechanics, 1 said I need an overhaul, dont know what that is but it costs around $2000, another one said its prob the oil, fixed that, same thing, now one just today, said I need a new gear box, he can get me a cheap one for $2500 that doesnt include taking out the old and putting in this new one, labour etc...would buy a new car, but I love my Ford...pls help

1993 Ford Explorer 5 speed driving it without the clutch slave without the clutch and without the 5 speed gear shifter how to get into 3rd gear

the process involves plenty of hydraulic fluid as well as gears and clutches.
If you have an automatic transmission, and it "slips" while you are driving it-that is, the car engine revs without the power going to the wheels-the most common cause (though not the only possible cause) is low transmission fluid. If the slipping is caused by low fluid, it will get worse as the transmission gets hotter.

How can i tell what manual transmission type I have in my 1989 4x4 f150. i can't tell if it is a 4 or 5 speed

Well, there are to easy methods. First try going through the gears. If there are 6 gears, then it is a 5 speed (5 fwd, 1 rev) if there are 5 gears then it is a 4 speed.

You can also use the VIN to determine the originally installed transmission. There are many sites to decode the options of your VIN

How do you replace the speedometer drive gear on a 1996 ford explorer xlt 4x4 v6

If you mean the gear in the speedo head .You have to disassemble the cluster. Google odometer gears and order a new one. It's a lot cheaper than a cluster.
