a common problem is a water coolant pipe or front air intake pipe obstructing the gear change lever on the top of the gearbox. a pain in the arse but easier to fix than a broken syncro.
if you can get the car to reverse by holding the gearstick in reverse than this could be your problem. if its grinding than you have a damaged syncro, or your clutch doesnt dis-engage properly
has a full charge won't go forward or reverse
I have a 2010 mitsubishi galant i have to push the gas to start the car what's wrong
Your 2000 Ford Contour cannot reverse because of a transmission failure problem.
put tranny fluid in it!
There's probably something wrong with the reverse gear. Have it checked by a mechanic then see how much it would cost to repair it.
The shift censor in this model may need replaced . There also may be a problem with the linkage in the transmission.
Best guess, your Transmission is shot. You'll need to call a mechanic and tow it to the shop to get it checked out
when i try to engage 4xhigh from2xh both 4xh and 4xlow flasg green and wont engage,what could be the problem
you could have possibly bought the wrong bulbs and/or fuses. or when you were replacing them you may have damaged the wires. Also the reverse light switch may be defective.
Seriously? More information would get you a better answer. - flat battery - aliens have zapped your car - it's not your car and you have the wrong key - no gas
