My 1996 Saturn SL2 goes in to reverse so hard it sounds like it will break soon.

What is your question?

Its happened the last 3 times I put it into reverse. A month ago my car had other symptoms my brother thought was my EGR valve. With my foot off the gas, my car was staying at 38 mph by it self. It was also sputtering when braking to a stop. Almost stalling. That symptom went away. My EGR valve has been replaced twice within a year already. My car has 170,000 miles on it approximately.
