Took the engine apart, now no reverse

Glad it was something easy Dave. Must have been the TV plunger or TV/ThrottleValve.

Maybe I spoke too soon LOL Now it has intermittent reverse- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I wonder if maybe the TV cable does have a bind in it, or if it's the TV/throttle valve sometimes sticking and sometimes not. Anyway, I'll check on it more thoroughly within the next few days. I took the car for a short drive tonight and it would not go past 2nd gear so the trouble's likely in the TV.

The tv cable is really not related to reverse,true it raises reverse line presure when you pull on it,but the trans should have plenty of pressure to apply even with TV cablew disconnected.
I don't think you found the problem
