The car is not actually in reverse, it only looks so because the linkage between your transmission and the shift lever is broken or stretched. Most likely the tranmission is fine, but the linkage will need to be looked at or replaced.

Why does my car go forward when the gear selector is in reverse?

If your car moves forward when the gear selector is in reverse, it could indicate a serious issue, such as a malfunctioning transmission or a problem with the gear linkage. The reverse gear might not be engaging properly, allowing the car to move forward instead. It's essential to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue, as it can lead to dangerous driving conditions.

What goes backward but never forward?

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.
