What causes no reverse gear?

An AT with dirty or low fluid will not shift into gear. If your car goes into gear after adding ATF, then your transmission was low on fluid, most likely due to a leak.

Why does Toyota transmission clunk into first gear?
However, the transmission now seems to clunk into first gear. When coming to a stop as the transmission downshifts it makes a loud clank as it goes from 2nd to 1st. So disappointing. It seems like Toyota had to make some solenoid fire harder to get it shift, resulting in harsh shifting all of the time. They should be ashamed of this drive train.
