Default no reverse?

Just started today, some reason doesn't want to go into reverse. I have to push REALLY REALLY HARD to get into reverse. Could something be messed up inside tranny?

Nope, NOT reverse lockout. Just doesn't want to go into reverse. I'm REALLY afraid might be syncro had gone bad.

I know the diff between reverse lockout and it not wanting to go into gear. Reverse lockout doesn't let you go over. I have reverse lockout wired to brake pedal. You don't push brake pedal, HARD to push to right. You push brake peadal, EASY to push to right, but doesn't want to go UP into gear. Can't figure it out.

try going into 5th or 6th then going directly over to reverse, i know some trannys are bitch and if you put them in a drive gear it
"calms down" the insides of the tranny adn will let it go into gear

Nope, going into gear then reverse doesn't work either. It WILL go into reverse, but have to push up HARD. It was working fine until other day and now all of a sudden doesn't want to work.

so there is no grinding or anything, just hard to go in if thats that case it sounds like maybe something is out of alignment

Check that you are getting a full clutch release. bleed for air in the line.You may not notice it dragging in other gears as much as rev.
