It will depend on whether it was an automatic or manual transmission.
Then it would depend on what broke.
If a clutch breaks you may see a lot of smoke and not be able to drive very fast.
If a pump breaks then you may coast to a stop.
If a linkage breaks then you may not be able to change gears OR you may have to select a different gear in order to drive at all.
If a gear breaks then you may hear some very expensive sounds and see some pieces flying around.

What happens when you put a car in reverse while driving fast like on a freeway?
On the vast majority of modern cars today it is impossible to actually shift to reverse while driving at high speed. Modern transmissions have an override safety device that prevents the transmission from going into reverse at any speed forward that would harm the transmission. You could put the selector in reverse, but the transmission would not shift to reverse. On older transmissions without this feature, you would probably destroy the transmission and possible have an accident.
