Most likely your transmission needs replaced.
truck will only go forward not in reverse does this mean the transmission is gone
Shift linkages not put in the correct spots.
car will jerk forward and then go in reverse
What would cause the 1995 Nissan Pathfinder not to go in forward or reverse?
no it will cause u 2 go > slowly >=forward
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.
Sounds like it is not really in reverse-check trans to see what gear it's really in.
Probably damaged or worn clutches in the transmission. If it's making strange noises when you try to go, it could also be the differential.
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.
Automatic or manual?
