Most likely the plates or discs in the transmission are stuck together. There is really nothing to be done but repair or replace the transmission. I assume this is an automatic. They tend to fuse together so additives do not help.
Possibly, worn brake pads, or low brake fluid. Air in the brake pipes is another likely cause.
Your transmission is gone, you need to rebuild it.
A 97 Saturn that stays in forward gears could be one of two problems. Either the electronic transmission controls are stuck in forward, or the internal bands in the transmission have welded themselves together.
I think it might have the same problem as my jeep ,,,it only go forward and when i shift the gear to reverse...it won't. Have ask around was told it have to be the transmission (Ugh! an expensive repair)
It's definitely a transmission problem. Any further analysis will require a bit of hands-on work to determine the cause.
Drive...
truck will only go forward not in reverse does this mean the transmission is gone
car will jerk forward and then go in reverse
no it will cause u 2 go > slowly >=forward
Most likely your transmission needs replaced.
The rear of the car will always go in the direction that you turned the wheel if you are in reverse. It's just like driving forward. If you want to go forward and right, turn the wheel to the right. If you are in reverse and want the rear of the car to move to the right, then turn the wheel to the right. To answer your question directly, the rear of the car will go to the right.
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.
If you have an automatic transmission, it probably has a forward clutch/band problem.
Your arctic cat 580 will go in reverse and not forward because the reverse linkage is okay while the forward linkage is not.
When a Mercedes C280 will not move in forward or reverse it is an indication that the transmission is going out or has already gone out in the car. This is true of all cars, not just a Mercedes.
Do you mean the shifter or car physically does not move? BClear.
What would cause the 1995 Nissan Pathfinder not to go in forward or reverse?
