Hi,
When you try to find reverse, does it feel different than it did prior to the problem?
Do me a favor. You will need a helper. There are two cables that run to the transmission. Have a helper shift through the gears and then try to shift into reverse. Watch both cables to see if they are moving.
I attached a pic below showing the cables.
Let me know what you find.
