Hello, if the transmission is going into reverse with the shifter, then it is an internal transmission failure. A transmission will always reverse and one forward gear range if all of the electronics failed. So with no reverse, that points to an internal transmission failure. It would need to be replaced or rebuilt to repair this type of concern.
