An automatic transmission car has a safety feature called a "Neutral Safety"
It will not allow the starter to work if the shifter is not in either neutral or park. Many new cars will only start in park.
On a manual transmission car the transmission being stuck in reverse probably means a serious failure inside the transmission that could jam things up to the point the engine wont start.

How do you adjust the gear shift on a daewoo espero it wont select reverse after the rear engine mount broke and i have already replaced both engine mounts?
You replace the rear engine mount. By not replacing it, you are putting more stress on the other engine mounts and making them more likely to break. When They have broken, your engine falls and you lose it while you are driving down the highway and you wreck your car.

How would you know if your water pump in a 1997 ford contour was bad?
The 2.5L Duratec V6 in the 1995 to 1997 Ford Contour was known to have a water pump that typically failed at approximately 60,000 miles. The plastic impeller would fail after time under the normal engine temperatures and pressures. Fortunately, though, the engine designers put the water pump at the front of the engine bay, making it easy to replace. If you are having overheating problems, it's a pretty good chance the pump impeller has failed to some degree.
