Default HELP Clutch Job Done NO REVERSE!!!!

I have a 99 FRC and I just installed a new clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, slave & master cylinders and bled the system. Clutch pedal feels great and it engages in 1st gear no problem, will not go into reverse is there a reverse lock-out switch or mechanism that I may have unplugged or something??

Trying to go for a test drive !?!?!?!?!

See that black connector on top of the tranny? That's the reverse solenoid. You need to reach up around there if your arms are small enough, find the wire harness connector and plug it into that connector on top of the tranny.
