Best Answer

If it is a late model, and it sure would help if you had said what model and make it is, it could easily be an electrical failure in the valve body wiring, or a worn, scored, binding valve body spool or bore, or reverse clutch pack or piston seals, drum, band, or improper or worn out shift linkage if its a column shift. Older F-series Ford trucks are noted for this when the linkage is worn or improperly adjusted. If you have no transmission rebuild experience you need to take it to a transmission shop. This, in all likely hood, is a major internal failure.

Most likely your transmission needs replaced.


If you turn the steering wheel to the right while in reverse, the rear of the car will?

The rear of the car will always go in the direction that you turned the wheel if you are in reverse. It's just like driving forward. If you want to go forward and right, turn the wheel to the right. If you are in reverse and want the rear of the car to move to the right, then turn the wheel to the right. To answer your question directly, the rear of the car will go to the right.
