Default Car quit going into reverse.. help needed.

Hey guys,

Today after lunch I went to pull out of the parking space, and my car wouldn't go into reverse. It felt like the gear didn't even exist. What could cause this? I haven't hit anything that would bend my linkage.

if thats the case, make sure the bolt holding the reverse idler shaft is still there, if it is, take her out pull her apart.
