Why is my car moving forward in reverse?

If it’s going forward when it should be going backward, then your car’s transmission has a fault or two or three. Most likely you’ll find it in the internal harness, solenoids or the valve body. Do not continue to drive the car, as this will lead to more expensive transmission damage.

What happens if your driving and you accidentally put the gear in reverse?

Why does Toyota transmission Clank when downshifting?

When coming to a stop as the transmission downshifts it makes a loud clank as it goes from 2nd to 1st.  So disappointing.  It seems like Toyota had to make some solenoid fire harder to get it shift, resulting in harsh shifting all of the time.  They should be ashamed of this drive train.
