1998 Ford Explorer (I believe has a 2.8 liter V6 with 226,000 miles). The gear shift feels like it is partially stripped and has locked a couple of times without being fully in any gear. Would the problem be with the transmission or something else and how much might I expect to have this repaired?

The shift mechanism on the steering column was notorious for breaking on Fords. Not expensive and not bad for the DIY guy either if you have some torx sockets. Lower the steering column down and see if this is the case.
