What type of transmission do you have Maunal or Automatic? If it is a manual transmission then possibly the clutch is worn. If it is an Automatic, then possibly the fluid is too low or may just need service. Check underneath the car to see if the fluid had been leaking. Do you recall a leak underneath?

Same as forward but... Backwards


How do you stop driving in reverse?

Come to a full stop, put on the handbrake, change the gear to first (or drive) and begin driving forwards as normal. Do not try to put the car into a forward gear while you are still travelling backwards.


Do the wheels of a car rotate backwards?

Unless a brake is engaged, the wheels on a car in neutral can rotate backwards. If the car is in gear, wheels attached to the power train probably will only rotate backwards if the car is in reverse gear. If it is in forward gear or "park" they should not rotate backwards. Wheels not connected to the power train should be able to rotate either direction.

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.

You may be very low in transmission fluid. Check your fluid level. If it is low, you should also look for a leak.

How long can a f1 cars reverse gear last?

I don't think F1 cars have a reverse gear. They are not like normal cars wherein the driver is expected to drive the vehicle both forward and backward. If a F1 car needs to be reversed, the driver puts the car in neutral gear and mechanics push the car backwards.
