THE CORRECT ANSWER DEPENDS ON THE MAKE AND YEAR OF THE CAR... IN SOME CASES LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, Chrysler HAS A DISK WITH 3 GEARS. THESE GEARS BRAKE.. YOU WILL HEAR A CRIMPING SOUND AND NO REVERSE. ALONG WITH THIS ALL THE METAL PARTICLES WILL DAMAGE YOUR CLUTCHES AND ALL THE CLUTCHES ON YOUR DRUMS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. ON OTHER CARS COULD BE YOUR CONTROL MODULE, OR A SENSOR RELATED THAT SENDS A SIGNAL TO YOUR CONTROL SELENOID. SPEED SENSOR, ON SOME CARS. KNOCK SENSOR AND TPS SENSOR. GOOD LUCK
If you have an automatic transmission, it probably has a forward clutch/band problem.
If this is an automatic transmission, more than likely the transmission is on it's way to the junkyard. Usually failing transmissions lose reverse first, then the higher forward gears - last will be the lowest forward gears.
truck will only go forward not in reverse does this mean the transmission is gone
bad transmission
I had my 00 eclipse gt automatic do this. took it to mr transmition and they cleared codes that popped up and it stopped. if i drove forward for a while and warmed the car up, then reverse would work. hope this helps.
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.
Most likely your transmission needs replaced.
If an automatic transmission ,broken bands in the tranny.
Sounds like the transmission
Assuming automatic transmission, brake bands need adjustment/replacement
The transmission is broken. Take it to a shop.
Brakes locked?
