My 97 Jetta Standard won't go into reverse

What is your question?

I shift it into reverse but the car just kicks back like it's going to reverse and then just accelerates forward as if it's kicking into first gear rather than reverse

How long has your 1997 Volkswagen Jetta had this problem?

Since I got the car
