well i guess you gotta go with what you're finding out, whether it makes a lot of sense or not. there really isn't anything engine or computer wise that cares whether you're going forward or reverse -- except the the trans inputs, of course. exactly where to go with that, i'm not sure from here, and at this hour.
first, i can assume no problems in N neutral?
if it were happening to me, and i noticed this forward/reverse thing, i'd guess i'd start looking at the trans mode switch system, which is what tells the electronics part of the transmission what gear you have selected. symptoms of a bad or problem switch are usually quite different, however.
how about, crawl under there and follow the wiring and see what you can [quote]see. the wires are right up there by the exhaust pipes and if they got dislodged maybe you've go a singed wire or two. the mode switch is on the outside of the trans, drivers side, where the the gear selector arms are.
that's where i'd start anyway.
mmmm... or
