Why my car will not drive in reverse?

The car allows me to shift in reverse but in reverse and I press on the gas pedal it makes a grinding noise and will only go but so far. It will not drive in reverse.

A grinding noise is a big concern, this would indicate that there is something fairly serious wrong with the transmission, get it towed to a transmission specialist as further driving may cause further damage, get this check ASAP.
