Which brings me to my problem.
When shifting the gears, the tranny shifts through all the forward gears smoothly. No extra play in the shifter and nothing notchy when shifting between gears. But when you try to shift it into reverse, you can not force it into reverse. It is like it is locked out of reverse. It will pull back into 4th gear instead of reverse, but you can feel the shifter making the move toward the 4th gear gate. I had someone move the shifter between gears while I watched under the hood and I could not see any slack or anything binding there, so I am afraid it may be inside the transaxle. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or has anyone ran across this before?
I have looked at everything I can find about this, but I am having no luck and hope you guys can help. If you have a link, that would be wonderful! The Google search does not bring anything closely related to my problem.
Thanks in advance!!!!

There's only one way to find out, tear down the tranny. It's either debris blocking you out, or a problem with the reverse mechanism in there.
