Pau: Clutch or auto? Auto could be your throttle cable out of adjustment, or shift linkage adjustment. Clutch.. faulty transaxle, faulty clutch disc, release lever and bearing not assembled properly, faulty pressure plate or pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts loose. You better get it into a shop and get it looked out. Hope this helps, have a good Thanksgiving and good luck!

Pau: Good question, but I forgot the most important thing here, have you checked the fluid? Is it red in the color, low maybe? Does it smelled burnt? If you are low in fluid the car would maybe go into reverse but none of the other ones. You need to go to a parts store and get yourself a manual. Because it would explain how to check things on your car. It is much to much for me to write here. That would be a repair manual, around $20.00 at any parts store. I mean the car goes forward more than reverse, I think reverse is a different gear. I remember dating a guy and his car would go into the forward gears but not reverse. Because it was my job to get out and push the car out of a parking spot. But you should get a shop or dealer to look at your car or else get that manual. Hope this helps and good luck!
