I have 99 spyder GS
When the engine is started
I can shift to any gear except the reverse
And when I let go the clutch the vehicle does not move at all. Also when the engine is off I still cant shift to reverse.
ANY ADVICE??
 
5th and reverse have the same hub and sleeve. When you are in 5th and get on and off the gas does the shifter move back and forth? If so Google that symptom. Multiple writeups on the subject
 
When did this start happening?
I parked my car for the winter. Just took it out for a spin and all of a sudden this happened

I can shift to all the gears except reverse
And after shifting to any gear and let go the clutch the car wont even move at all.

I'd verify that your shift cables are free to move in the designated locations, both under the console and underhood. Have a second person help you check for proper movement and range of motion.

Might also check to make sure the clutch fork and/or slave cylinder isn't somehow stuck.

It's possible the clutch pressure plate or flywheel picked up some rust over winter and won't allow the clutch to grab, but I feel like it's simpler than that...

Worst case something inside the trans is broken and it just happens right before you parked it.
 
You could have broken or popped an axle out of the transmission, that wouldn't explain the no going into reverse though but its something to check.

Guys I need help.
Thank you for all your post.
My transmission is shot.
It's hard to find a transmission in Ontario.
I found some transmission came off a 1995 talon.
My baby is a 99 G's Spyder with 4g64 all in stock
Any suggestions can talon tranny fit my car?

You need to find either an F5M31 (stock trans for the 2G Spyder GS) OR you can use an F5M33 out of a 95-99 GST BUT you will also need to replace the front axles. The F5M31 has a 25 spline diff, the F5M33 has a 27 spline diff.

On a side note, I have an F5M31 transmission I could sell you cheap if you're willing to make the drive to northeastern Pennsylvania. I just pulled it from my Spyder, it could probably use a quick refresh (second gear synchros are a little worn and would grind after long highway drives with sustained higher RPM, local driving it shifted perfectly.. and it needs to be resealed as it has seepage from old seals). Just shoot me a PM if you're interested and we'll work something out.

Not quite. Op will need a 2g trans. 1g trans dont have provisions for the mounts. Op if the talon you found is turbo fwd then yes it can be made to work. If its an nt talon then no. They aren't even remotely similar.
I ask again. Does your shifter move back and forth while in 5th gear. 5th and reverse share the same hub and sleeve. Your trans may need repair but i doubt its completely toast.

How did you determine its "shot"? Did somebody tell you this? Did you inspect the cables per the suggestions above? Given if it was fine when you parked it the problem is likely simple and reasonably repaired.

Fixed my post to reflect the proper info.
 
Had the same symptoms happen to me a few years ago on two separate clutch discs, both had blown apart in the bell housing. These happened within 45 days of each other.
