I do not do well with driving manual transmissions. I’m always afraid of rolling back in traffic and hitting someone. I haven’t driven a manual since driver’s ed in HS. BTW, I am a woman and not some pansy-man, afraid of stick-shift vehicles. I’m a pansy-woman, afraid of stick-shift vehicles, but I love my truck.

Its the Disgronificator. It will cost about $800 to repair.

It'd be cheaper to pull the front driveshaft and see what happens to reverse function.

I've driven a #$??!!! Ford auto trans vehicle that wouldn't go into reverse (or first) unless it was hot. I just parked so all I had to do was go forward upon restarting the vehicle. (using second to get the thing off the line.)

All you need is practice. I have been driving a stick since I was 18 and rolling back is not a problem. If someone gets too close behind me when I am on a hill, I rev the engine a bit and pop the clutch and get a faster than normal take off.
