My Lapse 2000 when I try to get reverse speed and pull the spring left towards (as it usual) it does not shift to reverse, but something like first speed. To clarify, I own this car from year 2000 I never do anything to the gear unless lubricating

It sounds like the shift cables need to be replaced. Can you please send us a video from your phone and upload it in your response so I can confirm? Cheers, Ken

Thanks for your reply.
I have not any videos or I do not know what parts I must photo. But I have a question, is there a special cable for reverse only? Because all gears 1.2.3.4.5 are okay.

If the cables are warn they will not position the shift lever to get reverse. Can you have someone move the shifter while you look under the hood with a flashlight to see what it happening?

Thanks for he video. I can see some hoses getting in the way of the shifting. When the shifter is in reverse try to push the gear selector on the transmission further to see if you can get it in reverse this will tell us if it is a transmission problem or the shifter cables. Please let me know.

Yes, when I pushed the levers to shift I got the reverse and car moved reverse.
