The car will go into drive and drive forward, but I put it in reverse and it does not budge an inch to come on?

Hi,

This could be the result of a few things. Have you confirmed the transmission fluid is both clean and full? Here is a link that explains how to check. Additionally, take a look through the other link.

Next, if the fluid is both clean and full, confirm the shift linkage is properly adjusted. See pics below.

Start with this and let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
