Best Answer

Linkage or cable worn. If it will go into reverse when the engine isn't running, it is probably the slave cylinder getting weak and not disengaging the pressure plate completely. With the engine off, give the clutch pedal 2-3 quick pumps and try getting it in reverse. If it does, it's either the slave or master cylinder and the slave goes bad more often.

Hey Diane==You don't state if it is auto or standard. If it is auto take it to the trans shop an something inside is broken and if it is standard have the clutch checked out first.
