When i push the reverse button i get nothingThe reason I ask about the “starting” is because it would be an indicator of an out of adjustment gear selector cable. That will cause a problem trying to “find” reverse. If the adjustment is not out, maybe an indicator of something else that may be wrong. (Low fluid level, clogged filter, low pressure, low/reverse clutch issue, etc.)
Thank u for all your helpWell I’m fresh out of ideas except to pull the cables and clean and lube them. Good luck and I’m following your progress as I have this same trans setup and hope mine keeps working the way it should. If you score a really cheap pair of cables, please advise. There is a reproduction set on eBay but it is $487.00. Wow that stings! Good luck.
Found broke spring on park leaverSounds like maybe your overcenter spring is missing or broken:

To test this, try pulling the park lever up as you try to engage reverse. If it goes into reverse when you do this, then the overcenter spring isn't working.
The park lever shouldn't be hard to move. You should figure out why it is.
