2001 hyundai elantra goes in2 reverse but won't go backwards all other gears r perfect

  • George Christ Jan 07, 2019

    Bummer deal. Replace the belts if it has one is a good suggestion. Here are some products the will cleanup stuck reverse shift valves you can try. They are not sticky or gooey like lucas brand is. Not likely, but a shift lever may be worn and won't let it lock bre verse to go backwards. A mechanic can check that. Hope this helps.https://www.auto-tune-up-and-repair-opti...

Most automatic transmissions have a separate belt for reverse and all forward gears, The reverse belt is commonly lighter duty that the forward belt (some Chryslers were affected so much it was advised to not shift into reverse until the engine had warmed up and the automatic choke idled down) Thus your car would be in "reverse" but with no motion getting to the gears.

check for any circuit brakers near the fuse box, if theres any of them reset them by introducing a paperclip in the small hole and press, you will hear a click.

SOURCE: heater quit working 2001 Hyundai Elantra. Checked

If the heater is blowing cold air, it could be your thermostat. They cost $20-50 at an auto parts store. Also, after the car has been ran for awhile does it come up and stay at normal operating temperature? Is your coolant level normal? If the car is high in mileage and the cooling system has never beeen flushed, it may just need flushed.

If I understand you correctly, you have ALL forward gears working, but reverse doesn't?... then the problem is in the transmission itself or the linkage on the trans linkage into reverse.

Did you check the transmission fluid level? If necessary, add fluid. However you probably have a more serious problem. Take the car to a qualified transmission mechanic.

2013 Hyundai Elantra radio goes black/flashes back on. Why?

This issue sounds like it could be related to a problem with the ground connection or the reverse gear sensor in your 2013 Hyundai Elantra. The radio may be losing power when the reverse gear is engaged and the car is on a hill, causing it to cut off and then come back on. Here are some things you can try:
  1. Check the ground connection for the radio. Make sure it is tight and securely connected.
  2. Check the wiring for the reverse gear sensor. Make sure it is properly connected and not damaged.
  3. Inspect the reverse gear sensor itself to make sure it is not malfunctioning.
  4. Check the voltage of the battery, low voltage can cause the system to shut off
  5. If none of these solutions work, it is recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
It is also important to have a professional diagnose this issue as it could be caused by multiple other electrical issues and a proper diagnosis is needed to find the root cause and prevent further damage to your vehicle.
