If your linkage is jammed also then that's the problem but if you can freely move it to another position and your clutch is working properly disconnect the linkage and manually try to move the pawl with the wheels blocked emergency brake on engine off if it's stuck you might have been rolling foward when you put it in reverse and this jammed the reverse you can try to do it by taking out the drive shaft have someone depress the clutch and try to turn the output shaft with a pipe wrench wrapping the out put shaft with rubber so you don't damage the splines on it tighten the pipe wrench as much as you can with vise grips to get the rubber to grip the splines the pipe wrench and a long piece of pipe will give you the leverage you need to try to free up the sincros if it's possible are you sure your clutch is working properly and is the linkage jammed to check as stated before first but this is an old truck 30-31 years by door sticker date and if you were rolling fowarded when you put it in reverse you might have snapped the sincros inside

Most likely an internal gearbox problem, but I would first check the shift linkage at the gearbox end, see if you can disconnect it and change out of reverse from there.

The car has an automatic transmission and all of a sudden i had no reverse had no slipping or nothing the drive gears work fine no slipping grinding nothing shifts through all gears just fine

It may just need servicing/adjusting.

Your reverse gear is actually first gear ... when you select reverse another 'cog' fits into the toothed wheels to change the direction of first gear ... to give you reverse...

It may be a sticky valve or just a bit of adjustment (workshop job..) that is required.

What you can try ..

Start the car ... move the lever through all the positions several times (foot on brake..). Keep your foot on the brake and then put it in reverse and rev the car. Hard!

Try doing it several times.

An auto transmission works on valves opening and closing. Reverse gear - in comparison with the forward gears - is seldom used. The reverse valve can 'stick'. Try forcing it to open ... frighten it ... but keep your foot on the brake...

1994 Cadillac Deville - won't shift into reverse after sitting overnight or for a couple of hours. Will shift into 1st and then will shift into reverse. What is causing this?

Check the transmission fluid level, reverse needs twice the pressure to activate that drive does. If low refill and try again. If fluid good, I`d say the tranny 3rd reverse clutch is worn out. Recheck the condition of the fluid on the dipstick, if it appears burnt or very dirty I`d still suspect internal tranny clutch issues. It also has a low reverse clutch, but goes into 1st gear as you said.

If I understand you correctly, you have ALL forward gears working, but reverse doesn't?... then the problem is in the transmission itself or the linkage on the trans linkage into reverse.
