Why does my car conk out in reverse and not drive?

If your car conks out in reverse but runs fine in drive, it could be due to several issues. Common causes include a weak battery or failing alternator that struggles under the load of reversing, or transmission problems that specifically affect the reverse gear. Additionally, if there's a problem with the torque converter or the Transmission Fluid is low or dirty, it may cause similar symptoms. A diagnostic check is recommended to pinpoint the exact issue.
