Transmissions

I have a 1995 Subaru legacy wagon, 176K miles. The reverse went out about 10 months ago; all the other gears shift fine and it runs great. Do I have a bad transmission or could it possibly be some kind of switch or solenoid? Can someone help me with this problem? I have searched the net for hours and keep coming up empty. Thanks , Bart.

Find a couple of decent independent non-chain shops and get estimates:

There’s not much anyone can say specifically to you sight unseen.
