The reverse lockout in the transmission that keeps you from shifting from 5th to Reverse may be jammed, but I'm no trans expert, just one of the things that I have seen stick before.

Sorry, just had to

Can you shift into it with the car off? Do you ever have any grinds in the other gears? Is your reservouir filled up? Any leaks?
