I'm assuming this is a manual? You don't exactly give us much to go on!!!

Give it higher RPM's...reverse is geared down the lowest. There's also no synchro on it so come to a stop/let RPM's drop before putting it in reverse.

It is also possible to drive without reverse. I did it once for about 3 months...you just have to be careful where you park.

Check the front motor mount. Most likely broken. The one in the middle of the engine right between the radiator fans. Usually breaks the top of the mount. Pull the small rubber flap on the side and look at the mount. Most likely split. common.
