Check the selector tower. Had a customers tdi once that use to pop out because the tower was worn

From memory yes, its how the tower has to move to select reverse.
If you get someone to try reverse and you look at the selector tower youll see if its slipped out. Also you can look at the cables to see if ones come unclipped of the bracket and just not moving where it should
