No rack and pinion only make the wheels turn side to side. If it were defective you wouldn't be able to turn the wheels at all, or you'd lock up during at turn.
Forward and reverse are tranny issues. Probally something simple or stupid, need more details or take to a mechanic.

Without having anymore information the only thing I can tell you for sure, it is not the rack and pinion that is causing the problem. Could be as simple as the shift cable off or some dumb thing like that.

do you mean ring and pinion?? rack and pinion is an older type of front end suspension and steering system!!the steering system wont bother the go or no go!! have you checked your tranny fluid? does it smell burnt? could be a torque converter! maybe you broke a cable or the shifter linkage! good luck,go get a loan at bank,you might need it for this one!! good luck

No, the rack & pinion is your steering gear. If your car won't move at all, you either have a broken axle or your trans is shot. What makes you think that it isn't your trans?

No, rack and pinion refer to the steering.

Only if the wheels are turned sideways. Seriously thuogh; if the car wont move, have tou checked the cv joints? if one is broke; you go nowhere.

No. Your problem is with the transaxle. Get thee to a transmission shop post haste.
