usually means your sitting on a hill..
truck will only go forward not in reverse does this mean the transmission is gone
Do you mean the shifter or car physically does not move? BClear.
car will jerk forward and then go in reverse
If you mean the transmission itself shifts forward, it is because the transmission is suspended, so when the transmission is put in reverse gear the momentum will push the transmission forward. Now, if the car pulls forward when put in reverse, this means there is a transmission problem. This may just indicate the shift linkages need adjustment, or that the transmission has a major problem and needs repairing. Take it to a shop and have it checked.
Your transmission is gone, you need to rebuild it.
Its not in reverse gear.
no it will cause u 2 go > slowly >=forward
That is what is called an optical illusion.
The car's acceleration is in forward direction.
Most likely your transmission needs replaced.
Shift linkages not put in the correct spots.
Sounds like it is not really in reverse-check trans to see what gear it's really in.
