Probably damaged or worn clutches in the transmission. If it's making strange noises when you try to go, it could also be the differential.

Why does your car whistle when reversing and grind when turning?
Unless there is an underlying fault with the gearbox/transmission (or else where), the most likely cause is that reverse gears tend to be "straight cut" rather than helically cut as forward gears are. The reason forward gears are helically cut it because straight cut gears are noisy, producing the typical "whine" when reversing. As a car spend the majoity of it's life traveling forward the additional expense of cutting the reverse gears helically in not seen as justifiable by most manufacturers. Grinding when turning is probably due to the brakes being almost worn out, and as the suspension/brakes flex when turning the backing plate for one of the pads is hitting the brake rotor/disk. I would suggest this is checked by a qualified person for safety reasons.
