Reversing problem?

[gman43ou]

Hello, my car dies when I try to shift into reverse. The rpm's will drop and the car will stall. Afterward, I have to pump the gas pedal a couple of times for it to start again. Can't start it in reverse either. Sometimes though, shifter will go in reverse and car acts normal. HELP!

most all cars you can start in reverse unless it's a manual, there a switch there so it wount. and any more info about your car? also check the fluid levels

Vehicle is a 92 non-turbo 5 speed. has about 80k mi and is otherwise in tip top condition. Car will start fine, but when I try to shift in reverse to back out of the driveway it will stall out. Sometimes what I have to do is rev the engine high, drop the shifter in reverse and let the clutch go. This gives me the momentum to back out, but it still dies.
