the reverse idler gear runs off of first gear, on manual trannys, will not be discussed here. if only gets stuck in reverse then trans has internal problem, i do not rec. any one without tranny teardown exp. to attempt fixing problem. rec. having it diagnosed by a trained pro.
if it is a automatic trans then could possibly be problem in valve body rec. having trained pro. diagnose as well. on automatics make shure to check shift linkage adjustment prior to taking it to shop.
the reverse light switch.. aka backup light switch is located on the front of the transmission along the side screws into the transmission if standing in front of the car looking down at the transmission you can see it

If your transmission is good then you usually have to pump the clutch a few times and go through all the gears back to reverse til it goes in. I usually go from 4th to reverse then 1st to reverse then 3rd to reverse etc...until it goes in. Hope that helps!

Mazda 626 does have reverse if its a 5 speed standard H shift then it is 6th gear.

The engine also jumps when changing to Neutral and Drive. Should I have transmission fluid change? A/C was not on.
