My A4 has no reverse but everything else is fine

Car: Audi, A4, 1997 - Back to Fix-It - Audi Repair Manuals

Q.1997 a4 Quatro. automatic trans. has no reverse but everything else is fine. When I shift into every gear it's fine. When I go to reverse there is no clunk or anything. Like it's not even on the shifter. Just empty space...

I already checked/done: Shifting in and out of the other gears to try and make reverse come alive. Nothing happens. All other gears work. This is an automatic quatro.

Answer Try cleaning out the harness on the side of the transmission by the range switch with electrical cleaner as best as possible, that may allow it to activate/deactivate solenoid valves to allow reverse.
If no Audi scanner is available, try pulling the solenoid valve connector off the transmission. If still no reverse, there is a possible stuck solenoids/manual control valve on the valve body. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
