From your desceiption it seems to me that your cover is not aligned properly.The clearance between the 1/2 and reverse is too close causing a binding. Before you take it to a shop try this. Loosen the cover bolts and put the trans in reverse--this will set the clearance --with the trans in reverse retighten the cover bolts .




This sounds like what it is...

There is a step that is easy overlooked in the manual that you install one bolt in the cover; shift it into reverse and adjust the cover until a slight drag is felt in the revers lever...


I agree with the others, take the rods off and shift each rod one by one and make sure they engage w/o the shifter

again, loosening all bolts and readjusting cover did not work. also, if not clear, i tried to get it into reverse with all levers removed. it is just simply not going into reverse. gotta be inside tranny.

ok...was going to haul to shop today, but he is not available.
I am 100% certain this is not a shifter or linkage rod issue .

"The first and second shifter fork needs turned around."

Is this "fork" inside the case?

thanks.
