How would the climate be affected if the gulf stream would reverse directions?

If the Gulf Stream reversed directions, it would carry cold water from the Arctic toward the equator, instead of warm water from the equator toward the Arctic. This would cool the air flowing over it instead of warming it. Because the wind around the Gulf Stream flows east, Europe would be far more dramatically cooled than North America, but both would cool a lot. Glaciers would build up, and an Ice Age would start.
