Default 1988 Transmission Problem

My transmission will not shift into Reverse. All other gears work fine. Transmision fluid is full and I checked the linkage to the shifter. Any one out there have any Ideas???? could it be anything in the electrical system?

Addition.
What.....You mean you guys can't read minds!!

It's an Automatic Transmission 700-R4. The Car is a 1988 hardtop. It's all stock, no mods.

Weird thing about the problem is that there were no bangs, sliping, or any other signs of tranny problems.

You're allowed to tell us if it's stick or auto. And other stuff about the car too...

Welcome onto the boards there...

Did you lose reverse all at once? Check the linkage closely to make sure that nothing is coming loose.
