truck will only go forward not in reverse does this mean the transmission is gone
does it shift into reverse and wont drive? if so its your tranny it needs to be replaced
Turn around and look out the back window.
Brakes locked?
That you need a transmission shop. It is possible but unlikely that your linkage needs adjustment; more likely is that you need a new transmission.
A reverse idler gear in a manual transmission. It converts the reverse gears turning direction into the outputshaft to reverse its direction. The transmission can not spin clockwise when the reverse idler is engaged thus it only spins backwards not forward.
only automatic transmissions, manuals have their forward and reverse gear selections
I think it might have the same problem as my jeep ,,,it only go forward and when i shift the gear to reverse...it won't. Have ask around was told it have to be the transmission (Ugh! an expensive repair)
because xavier is in the way so they cant go forward!!!!
It could be the transmission, it could be some parts under the vehicle that rub only when travelling forward.
If you can't physically shift the vehicle into drive, then the linkage going to the transmission may be binding up. If you can shift the gear selector into drive, but the vehicle won't move forward, then you may be very low on fluid. Many times when a transmission gets very low, it will only move in reverse and not forward in any gear. Check the fluid level and top it off if it is low. If the transmission is already full, then you may have more serious damage that may require a trans shop.
Spaceships can only move forward, and not in reverse.
The reverse on a waverunner works very similarly to the reverse on a jet plane. A mechanism called a "reverse gate" drops down over the jet on the back of the Waverunner. The reverse gate changes the direction of the thrust so that it goes forward instead of backward. With the thrust going forward, the Waverunner goes backward for the same reason it goes forward with the thurst going backward. Note that switching into reverse at speed or using the reverse at high speed or using the reverse as a brake can rip the pump out of the back of the Waverunner. The reverse is only intended for low-speed maneuvering.
