Sounds like the shift linkage is out or cable is out of adjustment. Look to see if the indicator for each gear on the shifter lines up. If out of line needs adjustment. If not,take to transmission shop.

If you shift your car into reverse but it does not take gear you may have a broken band in your transmission. A broken gear could also be the problem. You could have a faulty gear shift selector. The front transmission pump could be malfunctioning but this would affect all gears.

If its an automatic, check your transmission fluid levels and add as needed. A full service will be needed soon. If you have a manual and didn't grind it into reverse then your clutch is bad and is stuck engaged. A bad clutch or slave cylinder is most likely the problem.
