Can't shift into Reverse, other gears/clutch fine
Randomly today I stopped being able to shift into reverse. The clutch feels fine, and all the other gears work fine, including fifth. The **** moves freely, but after pushing it to the right, it won't move back into reverse.
I can't seem to find anything on the forum that doesn't involve not being able to shift into fifth as well. What should I be looking for?

Alright, so I pulled the shifter apart and all looks good, except the middle boot is cut to pieces. Bushings are fine, not debris in it. But all of a sudden I got it to shift into reverse just working it into fifth and out to neutral. Feels like whatever mechanism blocks you from shifting straight from fifth into reverse stuck. I'm not too familiar with the shift linkage in these cars, is this something back in the tranny or in the shifter?
