Stalls in reverse

With the engine off see if the shift between 1st to 2nd feel,s free if not it could be the cable check the clutch is disengageing all the way it should go into reverse without crunching,other then that it could be a synchro ring worn check that the gearbox has the right oil in it.

You have a broken part inside the transmission, it will need to be torn down and inspected.

Dude its likely an electrical problem, why are you so dismal? You shouldn't be so pessimistic and claim your being realistic, its bad for the health of everyone around you, and your proud negative views manifest into your reality and confirm your beliefs to be true so they are, but it doesn't have to be like that man. I understand quite a bit about vehicles and I bought it at a auction... I'm asking for help on which relay, module, ground, solenoid or whatever it likely would be, not a crash course in transmissions. Ideally I'm hoping for someone like myself to come around that had a similar problem and say what worked for them.

Oxigen sensor. Check accelerator pot also, and fuel pump.

Have you had the electronics tested for fault codes? That is the 1st step when you have a problem like this.

first thing to do would be a transmission service, the filter may be clogging up which reduces the pressure, if that does not work you may be looking at a new torque converter and or pump.

I have a similar problem...when at a stop it jerks in hesitation sometime feeling as if it wants to stall. It also does this when accelerating from stop...it has completely stalled out once when accelerating after switching from reverse to drive, but started right away.

clutch hydraulic system has failed
low fluid levels , air in system,problem clutch master cylinder will cause the indicated problems
take it to a clutch/brake specialist shop and get a proper diagnosis and quote

the engine tickover is too slow when the engine is cold its running on cold start, ie:choke,, after it warms up the engine slows down this is what is causing it to stall in gear,, get some one to hold the brakes hard on and with the engine running in gear ajust the tick over till its reving at 750 - 850 rpm the revs will go up a bit when its out of gear,, before you pick a gear to go into push the foot brake down to stop the car lurching,,,

change ur automatic transmission oil and check with ur switch which is connected to ur gear box.i also have the same prob but after changing transmission oil it is smooth ;)
