are you talking about a 1/2 lever that is inside the case? i am new to 4 speeds.
Yes, well technically it's in the side cover. The piece that the shaft of the shift fork goes into. There is a curved relief that the reverse gear arm rides very close to. If these pcs are incompatible, then you will have the issue you have.

Check the adjustment first. 1-2 and 3-4 have to be in neutral or the trans won't go into reverse. Might have to work the clutch a little to get it to go, or roll the vehicle slightly while trying to go into reverse. If you do not have the proper tool to lock the shifter in neutral you can make one from 1/4" round stock bent in the shape of an allen key.
 ....also you might just try to disconnect the reverse rod from the shifter end, and see if the shifter can detent into the reverse position,....I once purchased a complete E body 4spd set-up from it's owner who removed it thinking the tranny was bad,...he swapped over to an automatic he was so distraught trying to solve the reverse engagement problem he was trying to troubleshoot,....turns out the thin shim plates located between each shifter lever, that allow the shifter plates to slide on each other was loose and bound it self up between the 1st/2nd and reverse shifter plate not allowing the reverse shifter lever to slide independant of the other shifter levers,...basically binding just the reverse shift position

You need to make sure all gears are in neutral.. When they are the Hurst shifter lever will move smoothly left to right.. When the gears are all in neutral the shift arms should line up, some Hurst shifters have a hole that you can put a drill bit through. Next adjust the shift arms if needed when in neutral, if all is well then putting into reverse is EZ move the lever to the left and up.. Just my $0.02..

trying to move reverse tab on transmission in to "gear" with rod entirely disconnected. only moves about an inch.
You have to be 100% sure that the 1/2 and 3/4 shift levers are in their neutral position, even the slightest load on one of their levers from the shifter being not being adjusted properly will/might prevent you from engaging reverse,.....are you famaliar with the adjustment procedure?

yes all up. not od trans followed this article to set up...very good for reference. http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/howto...opar/index.html
Well you have a good source listed for the set-up procedure, and if you feel it was performed properly, ...Make sure the shifter can detent properly into reverse without the reverse rod attached,...if the shifter checks out fine,...your gonna have to open the side case to investigate further as to what is preventing the reverse from engageing
