There may be something wrong with the transmission or the linkage.
why reverse wont go in on 2004 town car
there is insufficient vehicle info and symptoms to answer this question.
If you have an automatic transmission, it probably has a forward clutch/band problem.
my lincoln town car started with not going into park and now it wont go in reverse what is wrong and how do i fix it
truck will only go forward not in reverse does this mean the transmission is gone
yes it does have reverse? wtf? not sure what you are asking or telling? if it wont go in then you may need a new transmission but the car has reverse none the less
I put into drive or try reverse and theshifter won't go into gear.
your transmission is burned out, the 1st and reverse clutches are worn out
Your shift linkage may have slipped or become loose. Check your linkage.
If the fluid fluid is full, you have an internal failure.

For the Reverse problem, you could have low transmission fluid, or a bad transmission. For starting in drive, just about every modern car will not start when the transmission is in gear. They will only start in Park or Neutral. This is a safety feature to prevent the car from taking off into someone or something when started.
