   We went to a cars and coffee yesterday, and found that our car would
   not let one shift into reverse.  As in, the lever would not slide over
   and up into reverse.  Everything else was fine - as it has been for
   years since Dennis went through it.  So, pull into a slot, and try a
   few more times.  No luck. I have Kelly try it, while I grip the knuckle
   right before the transaxle inlet shaft.  I twist while she engages,
   goes right in.  No problem.  Works fine as we leave and head for
   another C&C.  When we get there (20 miles), the shifter now slides up
   into the reverse slot no problem.  But no engagement.  No reverse
   gear.
   It stayed that way till we got home and I experimented with
   adjustments.  I tried shortening the linkage, lengthening the linkage,
   and various rotations of the linkage.  Nothing.  No reverse.
   Any ideas what is going on from you transaxle-knowledgeable folks?
