Drain transmission oil and remove end casing. The shift fork for the 5th gear is attached to a shaft which also actuates the reverse idler gear for reverse. Check if the shaft and fork are free to move. If they are, you may have sheared off the bottom circlip which supports the reverse shift lever. That would mean removing and tearing down the transaxle completely.
