As many people discover, diagnosing a vehicle problem, especially sight-unseen, is difficult. But these leads should help you feel more aware of potential issues when you talk it over with your repairman. If you are doing the job yourself, take it one step at a time.

Most likely your transmission needs replaced.
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.
Shift linkages not put in the correct spots.
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.
Do you mean the shifter or car physically does not move? BClear.
If your car moves forward when the gear selector is in reverse, it could indicate a serious issue, such as a malfunctioning transmission or a problem with the gear linkage. The reverse gear might not be engaging properly, allowing the car to move forward instead. It's essential to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue, as it can lead to dangerous driving conditions.
