Most likely, the clutch or the clutch pilot bearing is dragging. This is caused by clutch hydraulic leaks not letting the clutch fully disengage or the clutch pressure plate/disc/flywheel is warped. Crawl under the car, (engine off)have a friend push/release pedal, see if slave cylinder throw seems adequate and look for leaks. If throw is short, problem is in the clutch hydraulics; if throw is normal, problem is the clutch.
Sounds like the reverse switch is either damaged, or wired backwards... Did you have your clutch done recently?
If a truck has a clutch brake it would only be used when coming to a complete stop. By pushing the clutch peddle completely to the floor you would apply the clutch brake. This stops the clutch disc from spinning making it easier to shift into 1st or reverse gear. Normal shifting while driving you would not need to or want to push the clutch peddle to the floor to activate the clutch brake.
Perhaps the clutch isn't completely disengaging. Are you certain that you're pushing the clutch in completely? Sometimes a warped clutch will be difficult to shift.
Difficulty shifting, can't reach first gear and grinds to reverse, have to stomp on the brakes to downshift, basically any sort of unusual difficulty with shifting, car jumps forward when clutch is engaged or moves while on a flat surface and clutch is engaged.
To reverse a Holden Barina, first ensure the vehicle is in reverse gear by pressing down the clutch pedal and shifting the gear lever into the reverse position. Once in reverse, release the clutch gently while applying throttle as needed to reverse the vehicle smoothly. Use the mirrors and rearview camera (if available) to help guide you while reversing.
A reverse clutch setup is when the clutch assembly is normally in the "release" or "free" mode when at rest, as opposed to the usual "normally-engaged" arrangement. In other words, the spring is pushing to dis-engage the clutch and pedal pressure is required to connect the engine to the rest of the drive train. In a normal automotive clutch system, the driver has to push in the pedal to release the clutch, then let go of the pedal to engage it.
if there is a clutch there, you have to.
Yes, always use your clutch for any kind of shifting
Sounds like a problem with the idler gear in between the reverse gear and the layshaft.
if u keep your foot on the gas a little it will grind till u come to a complete stop then it will go into gear smoothly not coming to a complete stop before shifting out of reverse
There is no switch which will keep it from shifting. Instead, the clutch is not releasing the power of the engine from the transmission. Bleed the clutch.
The engine might rev up when the clutch is pressed if the driver is still pushing slightly on the gas pedal during normal shifting. It is also possible for the driver to accidentally touch the brake and the gas at the same time without realizing it.
