Lost reverse gear this morning

[Kneale Brownson]

I'll bet your unintended clutch pop affected something like Bernie
suggests.  Does every forward gear shift feel exactly "normal"?   I'd check
the adjustment of the shift lever mounting.  If I remember correctly,
there's some alignment  allowed in that assembly.
