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.

My h100 hyundai bakkie is stuck in reverse gear how do I get it out

There are a few steps you can try to get your Hyundai H100 out of reverse gear:
  1. Shift the transmission into neutral: Try shifting the transmission into neutral by moving the gearshift lever to the neutral position. If the lever is stuck or difficult to move, you may need to apply more force or use a tool to lever it out of place.
  2. Check the linkage: The linkage between the gearshift lever and the transmission can sometimes become disconnected or damaged, causing the transmission to get stuck in one gear. If the linkage is the problem, you may need to have it repaired or replaced.
  3. Check the transmission: If the transmission is the problem, you may need to have it serviced or replaced. This is a more serious issue and should be addressed by a mechanic.
  4. Check the brake system: If the brake system is not functioning properly, it may be preventing the transmission from coming out of reverse gear. Check the brake fluid level and inspect the brake system for any leaks or other issues.
If you are unable to get your Hyundai H100 out of reverse gear using these steps, it is recommended to have it inspected by a mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.

My friend lent me her car while shes on holidays and the button on the gear stick wont push in and i am stuck in park. its a 4 door hyundai, not sure of make but i think its around 1999. you have to leave...

the brake light switch controls the shift lockout solenoid. perhaps this brake light switch is ajar or misaligned or inoperative. check to see if brake lights are working. there is an override to the shift lever lockout.

2001 Hyundai Tiburon will not go into 5th or reverse, however it will go into gear 1 to 4

5th and reverse gears are on the same selector rail. It is possible that the selector fork has come loose for the 5th gear or reverse. Remove the gear lever turret section of the box and see if the selector rail is moving gears or the rail itself.

How do i trouble shoot automatic transmission that shifts from park to reverse with the gear shift but the car will not move?

Sounds like the shift cable is off the transmission under the hood. Raise the hood and check to see if the cable is moving the linkage going into the transmission when the shift lever is moved in the car. Be sure to have park brake on.

1991 Ford F150 won't shift into park or reverse. Will go into neutral and drive, and the linkage at the transmission moves ok

The linkage may be out of adjustment preventing the shifter from moving into reverse or park.
One way to test this is to disconnect the linkage and manually move the lever on the transmision making sure that it can be set into park. Also try moving the lever counting each click from park to low gear to make sure it is clicking into each gear. If this works then the linkage is probably out of adjustment.
On the link cable there is typically a bolt in an oval shaped metal near the transmission shift lever.
1)Detach the shift cable from the transmission shift lever
2)Put the transmision shift lever in the park position, and also the shifter in the cab
3)Loosen the adjustment bolt
4)Reattach the cable to the lever
5)Tighten the adjustment bolt in place
6)Confirm that you can shift through all of the gears
Hope this helps

When the transmission shifts from 3 to 4 gear it shifts very hard. I have checked the fluid and its fine. What else could it be?

There can be play inthe shift levers, play in the connecting links.
One there is play then the levers will not move firmly and so it will not have the postion correct to shift the notches inthe gearr box.
So you may have to see if there is any nylon washers or links that are loose and needs a tightening, if the shift lever shows a wobble then it needs this correction.

Vechile will not shift into park or reverse

The first thing to check is the linkage. Sometimes the linkage will slip, Block the wheels on the car (both front and rear) to prevent rolling. Locate the shift linkage on your transmission, and loosen the nut. You should be able to move the shift lever through all the gears, including "P" and "R". Place the transmission shift lever in "Park" (on the transmission) then move the shift lever (inside the car) in the "P" position and tighten the nut (not a bad idea to use a new locking nut here) You should now be able to shift through all gears. If this does not work, you have a more serious problem that may include a worn or broken belt or broken parking pawl inside the transmission.

My 2001 Dodge Caravan's transmission is stuck in reverse.

Things haven't changed much...look on top of the transmission in the engine compartment and look at the shifting linkage. Look for anything that could be interfering with the shifting. One linkage is the cable to the Shift Lever and Rod that goes down into the transmission. Remove the cable adjustment screw.
Move the shift lever rod towards the front of the Van into the Park Indent Position. Place the Driver's Position (Dash) Shift Lever into Park and then reconnect the Cable to the Shift Lever and tighten down the cable adjustment screw to 70 in-lbs.
Check operation's
