Can you remove the tower without pulling the tranny? Shift fork stuck in reverse but shifter is in nuetral.

You can Pull the Shifter but not the complete tower to get to the forks

It's probably worth pulling out the shifter, just in case you can see something at that level without going further.

Mine does that sometimes.

You might be able to play with the clutch and the shifter and get it to go back into reverse, then bump it back a little and try to get it to come out of reverse.

Mine does this anytime I try to stop backing and the drivetrain is in a bind. So far I have been able to get it to come out everytime.

Went ahead and removed the cup holeder console and got to the four bolts that hold the tower on and slipped the reverse fork back into the nuetral position and reinstalled. Everything works fine now. Hopefully it was a freak deal and will not happen again.
