Reverse gear is spur because it has to slide, sliding mesh gearbox uses spur gears. Because if it was constant mesh gear (helical) it could not slide in and out, therefore it could not go in the opposite direction of rotation.

A spur gear.
Where are sliding gears used?
Sliding Gears in a transmission are straight-tooth spur gears with a taper (also known as a lead) to make engaging easier. Helical gears are mostly used in a transmission because spur gears produce gear noise and have a great strain on the teeth of the gear since only one tooth can be in contact at any given time. But because helical gears cannot be taken out of mesh, spur gears are used for the reverse gear because reverse spins the opposite way and cannot be in constant mesh.

What is the purpose of a spur gear?
One of the most common types of gears is the Spur Gear. They are most round with teeth along the edging. Spur Gears are used in oscillating sprinklers or fans, windup clocks, washing machines and dyers.
Formula module in helical gear?
the module of a helical gear is calculated in the same way of that of a spur gear: module=pitch diameter / no of teeth the module of a helical gear is calculated in the same way of that of a spur gear: module=pitch diameter / no of teeth
What is different between spur gear and worm gear?
Spur gears give 180 degree drive, and worm gears give 90 degree drive.
What does a helical gear look like?
Helical gears are similar to spur gear except it's teeth are slant. They have good load distribution, less noise and less wear compare to spur gear.
