Won’t go into reverse revs like it’s in neutral?

Good morning,

This sounds like an internal issue in the transmission as the reverse is totally mechanical and no electronics are involved.

I attached the flow chart for you but all indications are pointing at an internal failure. This will require removal of the transmission and either rebuilding or replacing.
