Default powerglide won't go in reverse

I just got my s-10 running today but my powerglide won't go into reverse. It drives great foward but will not engage reverse. I bought it used and don't know much about. It does have a brake but again I don't know much about it. Any clue to what might be happening? Any input would be great. Thanks.

Thinking the same thing........If it's a pro brake you will have to set the brake to get it to reverse.......If not you best check you adjustment...
