Odds are about 98% that you'll need to remove the transmission and have it rebuilt. My guess is that you have a broken clutch drum or bad drive discs. Pretty common failure.

SOURCE: hyundai excel 1996 automatic will engage reverse

It appears you have a Forward Clutch FAILURE. Replace the trans after you get it diagnosed and verified by a professional technician. By the way, do you have a Check Engine light? If so, what is the diagnostic code? The dealership can scan the system and find any codes which may have been stored in the TCM (Transmission Control Module). If there were any 'Incorrect Gear Ratio" codes, it's most probably the trans itself.

SOURCE: 99 dodge avenger gears will not engage

This is most likely an issue with the clutch slave cylinder... Typically, if the clutch master cylinder fails, the clutch pedal will not return and [usually] sinks to the floor under it's own weight. If the pedal returns, it's typically a clutch slave cylinder issue. The best thing to do is to replace both cylinders so that you'll not have to worry about either cylinder failing again.

2005 chevy uplander ls no reverse

If your 2005 Chevy Uplander LS is not engaging in reverse, it could be due to a variety of reasons. Here are some potential causes and solutions:
  1. Low Transmission Fluid: Check your transmission fluid level using the dipstick while the engine is running. If it is low, add the necessary amount of transmission fluid to the appropriate level. A low transmission fluid level could cause problems with the transmission and prevent it from engaging in reverse.
  2. Transmission Filter: The transmission filter can become clogged and restrict the flow of fluid to the transmission. If the filter is dirty or clogged, it should be replaced.
  3. Faulty Transmission Solenoid: The transmission solenoid is responsible for controlling the flow of fluid in the transmission. If it is faulty or malfunctioning, it could prevent the transmission from engaging in reverse. A diagnostic scan can determine if the solenoid needs to be replaced.
  4. Broken Transmission Bands or Clutches: Over time, the bands or clutches in the transmission can wear out or break, causing problems with reverse gear engagement. If this is the case, the transmission may need to be rebuilt or replaced.
  5. Torque Converter: The torque converter can also cause problems with reverse engagement. It may need to be replaced or repaired.
It is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect and diagnose the issue with your 2005 Chevy Uplander LS to determine the root cause of the problem and recommend the appropriate solution.

My 92 dodge caravan won't go in any forward gear but park,reverse and neutral warm fine

If engine RPM goes up when you try to go forward but vehicle won't move the forward gears is not engaging in transmission. Could be caused by several things. Check transmission fluid both level and condition mostly condition. Get a white paper towel whip dipstick on paper towel and look for any gray in fluid if transmission fluid is gray you have metal shavings in fluid. Most likely need a new or rebuilt transmission.

Transmission leaks fluid. we replaced the gasket but there is still a leak somewhere and it struggles to go in reverse and in 1st. gear

The factory uses silicone sealer on the transmission pans and this is rarely where the leak is, unless someone has tried to replace that gasket before.Most of the time the leak is where the rubber cooler hoses connect to the transmission and the fluid runs down the case behind the solenoid pack and across the front of bell housing and looks like the pan is leaking.Reverse and low gear are controlled by the same solenoid and share a set of clutches.Low fluid is the most likely cause of poor engagement but you could have a bad solenoid pack that could be also causing the leak and or internal damage to the transmission.I would double check the fluid and have diagnostic codes pulled and the CVI (clutch volume index)and get back to me with that info and i will try to give you an isea of what is wrong.

I have 2005 Chevy Suburban; when you engage the gear in drive the truck would move but won't get out of the first gear. I've checked my transmission fluid and its ok. It also responds to reverse when you...

Common problem probably a 4L60E transmission The low and reverse clutches are the same ones The forward clutches are another set and then there are the 3-4 clutches in another pack. So you probably burn out the forward clutches or could be a stuck valve in the valve body. Time for a transmission specialist.

Could frozen e brakes cause car not to go forward, car moves easy in reverse

No. An emergency brake on the 86 camaro engages the pads against the rotor and the vehicle would not move either in reverse or forward. It sounds like you have a gear problem in the transmission that could be related to either solenoid or actual gear wear. Assuming the vehicle is being MOVED as you say while the engine is running.. thus providing the energy to move it.. Going in reverse has the solenoid engaged one way, drive the other way. Solenoid sounds damaged at this point. Unfortunately this probably will require a transmission rebuild.

Reverse engages HARD!!!

Check for trans codes then I would suggest a fluid change if there are no trouble codes, many times these kinds of problems are caused by a little piece of dirt causing a shift solenoid to stick.
