Reverse gear is gone - manual transmission, where should I look for the cause?
My manual transmission won't engage reverse, but the other gears work fine. The oil level is normal, the clutch is new. Could there be a problem with the shifter or is the gear selector mechanism itself broken?

If reverse doesn’t engage while other gears work, the issue may be with the shifter linkage, cable adjustment, or internal selector fork. Even minor wear or misalignment can prevent reverse from engaging. Avoid forcing the gear to prevent further damage.
