No Reverse??

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

If its an 020 then ceck the linkage first. It may be the adjustment at the 
end of the selector rod from the bottom on the shifter to where the Ball & 
Cage section is.
Loosen the 10mm nut, turn the splined rod 1 (one) spline to the passenger 
side. This should allow the selector to hit the reverce gear.
Good luck!
