110,000 miles, I just replaced the heater core. Noticed that I was loosing the power steering in reverse but as soon as I went to neutral it would be normal. Could this be motor/tranny mounts. Also the radio stops when the car is in drive or reverse but works in park and neutral. Could they be related to the mounts??

Replaced Transmission Range Sensor. $28.00 and 15 minutes later all problems completely gone.

Unlikely sounds like the serp/drive belt is slipping or not properly tightened causing the power steering failure as it cannot turn the pump properly and the increased load with the engine in drive or reverse causing the alternator from turning.
