There's probably something wrong with the reverse gear. Have it checked by a mechanic then see how much it would cost to repair it.
The shift censor in this model may need replaced . There also may be a problem with the linkage in the transmission.
bad transmission
Yea, it's probably a problem with the transmission. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
If your 93 Nissan Maxima will not go into reverse at all, your transmission is either getting ready to go out or you are low on transmission fluid. You should check your transmission fluid first before messing with the actual transmission.
You are probably low on transmission fluids
Reason is, your clutch is going out or tranny is about to be shot!
Bad transmission? Bent shift linkage?
slips or makes noise and wont go n reverse
check your transmission fluid level. If it's low, then reverse goes out first. If that doesn't do it, you may need to take it to a transmission shop..
If your 1997 Ford Taurus won't go into reverse, there may be a problem with your transmission. You can try checking your levels, but you need to take it to a mechanic.
This is commonly a problem with the transmission filter or fluid. Replace the transmission fluid or have your transmission filter taken in for maintenance.
If the automatic transmission on a 2002 Kia Rio won't go into park and there is no reverse, there is a problem inside the transmission with the gear bands. Each gear has a separate band and sometimes they wear out. New bands need to be put in or a new transmission needs to be installed.
