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.
I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 with a manual transmission. The backup light does not come on when I engage the transmission into reverse. Does anyone know how to fix it?
It's a matter of replacing the reverse position swith in the transmission. This switch tells the computer wheter it's in neutral, or reverse and when in reverse it triggers the reverse lights.
Where is the reverse lights switch on 2002?
You didn't state weather it was an Automatic or Manual transmission. Well any way they are both on the transmission. Manual transmission has a separate switch for the backup lights the automatic is built into the neutral safety switch on the transmission. Automatic switch is about $50.00. Manual switch is about $10.00. Hope you have a manual it is a lot cheaper.
What is wrong with your transmission if you can't go in reverse?
It truly depends on the trans - auto or manual? Chev or Dodge? However, if you can go forward but reverse is gone, you have broken parts in the transmission. Really common on some GM's. Dan the tranny man
If the transmission goes in reverse but not forward can it be fixed?
It can always be fixed. What that consists of.. it would help to know your transmission a little better, i.e., whether it's a manual or automatic, as well as if it goes into neutral (and park, if applicable). Diagnosing from a distance, unfortunately, prohibits a tech from being able to see the problem and diagnose it firsthand.
Why would the back wheels lock up on a manual transmission 86 camaro?
Answer why would the back wheels lock upTwo possible reasons: 1. The (older) manual transmission is stuck between gears. This happened to me once on a hill. With the car wanting to go downhill in reverse there was torque on the transmission and this held the manual transmission in that messed-up position. I could not even put my car in to neutral to coast out of the street. The tow truck operator that picked me up said that if I had had someone push the car slightly forward I could have gotten the tranmission into neutral.2. The back (drum) brakes were very recently rebuild and were assembled in reverse; they tightened up every time the brakes were used until they locked.

What is wrong when a car put from park to drive jerks?
That might be the sign of a transmission problem. My car used to jerk when I put it in reverse. But if you wait a couple seconds until it is completely in gear, I bet it won't jerk. Having it checked out with a mechanic maybe in your next oil change might be a good idea. Tip for checking your transmission: When you are driving 60mph, put your car in neutral - if your car rolls smoothly in neutral, there is no problem. If it shakes or does something weird, you wanna have it checked out. Reminder: Putting the car from FORWARD gear (not reverse) to Neutral while in motion in either automatic or manual gearbox will not damage the transmission.
