Unhappy W58 - lost reverse gear???

I noticed yesterday in my 95 SC300 5spd that it was a bit difficult to get the car to go into reverse, and then this morning I went to back into my spot at work and definitely do not have reverse gear anymore. When you put the shifter all the way over and down it goes into 4th not reverse. Tried shifting through all the gears dozens of times and it just doesn't go into a reverse gear anymore. I have billet tripod bushings and a Cube short shifter already in the car so I don't believe it's worn out bushings. It's just like reverse gear no longer exists. Anyone had this issue??? Need to get this resolved ASAP.

Could it be you that you lost or are losing hydraulic pressure? My MR2 would be finicky with reverse, until I lost hydraulic pressure and it wouldn't go without grinding the gears.

I don't believe that to be the case, every other gear shifts perfectly fine and I didn't notice the reverse gear until I got to work

Update, linkage under the car had come loose, tightened it up and all is well in the world! Luckily it was something super simple
