My Savvy when is turned off goes forward but doesn't go backwards and when its on its only neutral and reving high is it my differential if not please tell me whats wrong 🙁
 
hmmm I'm not sure myself what might be wrong as i've never had that problem but wanted to welcome you to HPISF.. and I'm sure someone will post some answers for you shortly so again welcome!!
 
Hmm tricky.

Do you have reverse installed or done something recently to the truck?

When you say it doesn't move backwards, do you mean that you are not able to push it backwards as though something is binding? Normally if you push it backward the spurgear should start to turn.

If i had to have a guesse i would say that the problem lies either with the diffs or with the tranny. If you have a savage X its easy to check both.

Its highly unlikely that both your diffs are blown so I would first check the tranny by taking off the top cover and removing the internal gearset and see if you can then move the truck backwards. If so the problem lies with the tranny and possibly the OWB other wise the problem is with the diffs. With the top of the tranny case off, also check that the clutchbell is spinning freely and that the bearings aren't siezed.
 
There are so many things it could be a little more information would be great. What have you checked so far?
 
id start by checking your slipper nut. that would account for high revving and no forward movement.

as for the not rolling backward, check your diffs.
