There isn't any linkage, it has a cable, check to see if the cable is loose. There is a U clip that holds the cable in place,if the U clip is in place and there isn't any slack in the cable, it could be your tranny. Is the clutch disengaging? If when you push the clutch in the engine can be turned over or the car can be pushed, it is not a problem with the clutch.
Type of vehicle and is it a standard or automatic? Could be shifter linkage, clutch, something stuck around the shifter. If standard, will it shift into reverse when the engine is off? If so, it is most likely the clutch slave cylinder. Could be the master cylinder, but the slave usually goes bad first.
It depends on the type of clutch linkage. If it's mechanical linkage the clutch could be worn and the rod dropped out. If it's a hydraulic clutch, the clutch master or slave cylinder could be worn out.
I have a 99 Saturn and for my broken linkage I paid about $350.00 It was the best price I could find.
The linkage that connects the shift lever to the transmission could be out of adjustment or the reverse gear in the transmission itself could be bad. Usually it's the linkage.
Could be a broken clutch fork, linkage, or cable depending on the setup.
Could be a linkage problem..
Yes. Could just be that the linkage is not engaging reverse properly, try disconnecting the linkage at the transmission and manually putting it in reverse, if this works then you just need to adjust the linkage appropriately.
problem in the clutch linkage or throwout bearing, check for binding in the exterior linkage before getting into the bearing, it may be worn or just binding on the shaft, could also be clutch itself as springs may be weak from time
the clutcch might be hanging up, mine does it too, it could also be worn tranny synchronizers but reverse girnds because its a non synchro gear and the only way to stop that is to wait 15 seconds with the clutch in before going in to reverse or go into a forward gear leving the clutch in and then go in to reverse. It sounds like your clutch is not fully disengaging. This can cause the input to the transmission to constantly be turning and creates difficulty putting it into gear. Check to see if the lever going into the transmission is bent and that the clutch linkage/cable is properly adjusted. If you have a hydraulic clutch, you may have lost some fluid, or you may have air in the system.
Could be clutch adjustment or shift linkage adjustment
Worn or damaged internal clutch or transmission valve body. Either case requires a rebuild. Possible that it could be misaligned gearshift linkage, depending on the vehicle, but don't count on it.
If a 1997 Kodiak 400 won't go into reverse, it could be due to several issues. Common causes include a faulty or worn-out reverse gear, problems with the transmission linkage, or issues with the clutch not disengaging properly. Additionally, low transmission fluid or a clogged filter could also prevent the vehicle from shifting into reverse. It's advisable to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the issue for an accurate repair.
