Does this MPV have an engine or transmission? |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 12:19pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
It has an engine. |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 12:20pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
It has an engine. It is a manure drive |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 12:25pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
Glad to hear it has a manual transmission, and an engine of some sort. Care to state what engine it has, as in size, or do I get out a prayer mat, and pray? 1 Like |

I really don't cos I am not too good for it. I only observe while driving last week. All other gears are working |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 12:41pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
In that case, I'm sorry I can't help you. Good luck with your quest. |

mygame: Manual tranny, since it goes foward (with ease I suppose) then you most likely have a gear problem. If the shifter feels funny or wiggles at very large angles, then it's possible you are not getting into reverse gear. Your response might help. Note. You use hard earned money to buy a car and have no idea what is under the hood? That is really lazy. |

Sienna don't critizice me plsss. I wish I know much more about it. However what is d solutions. Thks |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 1:17pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: This is your problem. You won't accept correction / criticism. I am being critical, because you're asking me to work magic. Well, I'm not a magician. Without knowing what engine your car has, how can I tell what manual transmission is bolted to the said engine? Without knowing these details, how do you expect me to help you - guess? 1 Like |

It's a 2.3 engine. 1998 model |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 1:45pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: Thank you. So it's a Ford 2.3 DOHC 16V motor, with Ford's VXT-75 5-speed manual gearbox. The first thing to do here, is look at the possibility of an external issue. So we're talking selector mechanism. It is cable-operated. Has any work been carried out recently, like a clutch or engine / gearbox mount replacement? Does your reverse lamp come on when you physically select reverse? |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 2:06pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
This. I will check right away. However thecgear has not been worked on before. I remember a drop down engine while on motion which affected my movement but have been rectified. 1 Like |

Again the reverse light is on |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 3:04pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: What does this mean?? Your engine dropped out of the engine bay while you were driving? Please clarify. 1 Like |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 3:05pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: Again, please be clear. The reverse light is on all the time, or when you select reverse? |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 3:11pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
Siena:. The light is on when select gear |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by DGD1(m): 3:41pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: u r lucky siena is having your time. bt wait oo, u v nt answered d other question; did the engine fall off while driving? |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by GAZZUZZ(m): 5:43pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 6:07pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: If the reverse lamp comes on when reverse is selected, it means that the reverse fork is physically activating the reverse light switch. Looks like your reverse cog is broken. Gearbox replacement time, I'm afraid. Is there any noise when you select reverse, and release the clutch? Does the speedo give any reading when you rev the engine whilst in reverse? |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 6:18pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
Siena:Yes |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 6:19pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
GAZZUZZ:Can I know s cost price of a new gear box for ford car galaxy 1998 model |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 7:24pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: Bro! I'm trying to help, but you're not making it easy. I asked 2 questions, you simply said "yes". Yes what? I'm not even sure we're on the same page here. Looks like you don't like expanding your responses. Monologues don't help with remote assistance from 7,000-odd miles, that have baffled experts who physically have the car in their possession. |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Kashif(m): 7:43pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: Where is the criticism? You cannot communicate to save your car, yet you sniff 'criticism'. You seem to be having loads of issues with this car of yours. |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 9:22pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
Siena:Sorry for not being too straight on dz issue. The main problem here is that both gear 1,3,and 5 can move when shift but gear 2 and the reverse won't make any progress. However if I shift to 2 or reverse I can easily hear lot of noise coming. Kindly assist plssss |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 9:24pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame:Also there is noise when I shift to reverse n it revs too |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:52pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
mygame: Now you are talking. Check gearbox and engine mounts |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 9:57pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
[quote author=GAZZUZZ post=38213988] Now you are talking. Check gearbox and engine mounts This. I will check on it tmr.. Moreover what else do I do... And I pray I wont b making any gearbox replacement... hoping to hear from you my prof.. |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 10:00pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
GAZZUZZ: This prof. What else sud I b expecting.. Hope to look into it tmr. Again I pray I am not doing any replacement of gearbox here |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by Nobody: 11:32pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
If engine / gearbox mounts break, and the transmission position alters, with rod linkage, the gear selection WILL be affected. With cable change (which the Ford Galaxy is) gear selection is NOT affected. I suspect the reverse cog has sheared its teeth, and the remnants are floating in the oil. |

Strong possibility the cables have problems. 1 Like |
Re: Ford Car Wont Reverse But Can Go Forward by mygame: 9:33pm On Sep 21, 2015 |
