Re: cant get reverse gear
Can you select it with the engine off? If so, then likely the clutch is dragging....

Re: cant get reverse gear
Don't know details of this van - need to look on top / to the back of the gearbox to see if it is cables or linkages. Cables probably more difficult to lubricate and may need to be replaced.
