After firing up my 88TA tonight, I started the road test for the first time in 18 months. Aside from another issue explained in the Engine section of the tech forums, I found out the car wouldn't reverse.

All the other gears work fine, from neutral down to 1st. Putting the trans in park also works.

What would cause the Reverse to quit working? Is there a moderately easy fix that a newbie could perform without dropping the trans? Or am I better off having a mechanic look at it?

Thanks.
