Transmission will not go into reverse gear?

Transmission will not go into reverse gear? - 1

Added (1). 1991 Ford Escort Pony, 1.9 engine- 5 speed, will go into all gears but not into Reverse

Hmm,

It should.

Could be shift fork or the throw out bearing is starting to go

You have a bad servo.

It's a nothin burger? No pickles, cheese, or even lettuce?

If those had an MTX, low failure rate.

But it's possible you have an ATX, so, now, identify it. 4 eat trans can also be in that year

Can you double clutch it? Since you say "reverse gear" instead of reverse range

Fill the auto trans to the correct fluid level?
20 plus years later?
self test the 4 eat TCM?
See how this could develop for a technician?
He needs to look at it, i.d. It, etc.

Will it start in reverse with the clutch pedal pressed?
is it cable operated? What is the condition of pedal height?
low and soft? Must see to fully appreciate a jewel of this magnitude.

You need identfication of parts in use and system prechecks.
inspections, adjustments checked as they apply.

If its full? Drive straight to the trans shop for advice.
They will ask the same questions and offer the same advice.
But be able to look up the year and part type about
bulletins if they don't know right off.
Get them to try it and advise.
Or update your question with the rest of your info,
or google make, model, year, and symptom.
after prechecks and additional symptoms and things tried.

anyone could have installed another trans by now.
and they had several last time I was at the u-pull-it yard.
a good place to compare yours, and see various stages of disassembly.

  • Ford KA reverse gear problem? This only happens in reverse, but when I try to select reverse it won't always let me select the gear. Also when I lift the clutch up a very horrible grinding sound appears when you don't put it into the gear properly. When this happens I always try to put it in properly but it still happens sometimes. It is a 56 plate KA Is it the gearbox, is it the clutch I don't know, but it is very annoying and inconvenient for me and other users of the road.
  • Ford Focus 1.8 TDDI was popping out of 5th gear now won't go into any gear! Is it Clutch or Gearbox? The car which is a 2002 was jumping out of 5th gear into neutral when travelling at 60mph. Now it won't go into any gear and I can only start the car with the clutch pedal pressed in and when I release the clutch pedal with the gear stick in neutral the car stalls. The gear stick will literally not go into any gear. I think I need to find a used gearbox and I think the clutch is fine. What do you think?
