Automatic or manual trans? What am I missing here? Explain! If it is stuck in 3rd gear then it is obvious that it can't go in reverse.
Its not in reverse gear.
If a 1989 Nissan Sentra clutch pedal quit working and the car is now stuck in reverse, it will need to be towed to a repair shop to fix the clutch. The transmission may also be damaged due to it being stuck in reverse.
If a transmission for a car becomes stuck between 1st and 2nd gear the fluid should be changed. Old fluid in a transmission can cause hard shifting and stuck gears.
Manual or Automatic?? In either case, most likely the linkage. Manual, might be the syncronizer gear or low on lubricant.
Becuase it does not have a reverse gear; reverse gear in a gearbox requires more cogs and drives so it makes the gear box alot more heavier than it needs to be. A bike is meant to be moveable by 'hands & feet'. In the early days (and in some military applications) some combinations (motorcycle & side car) did have a reverse gear; the old German BMW combo also had a drive shaft to the third wheel under the side car.
because there is no further GEAR in reverse.
the car goes back
Shift linkages not put in the correct spots.
If would not be bad for a car engine to shift from third to second gear if you are traveling at 30mph.
yes it can
Select reverse gear.
