Lost reverse - please help

What fluid did you use?
The NV3500 is not an easy transmission to rebuild. You'll easily spend a couple of hundred on the overhaul kit alone.
It's doubtful that the shift tower is causing this.

I used pennzoil synchromesh. It was the only thing I could even find in town that said it would work for this tranny. I called the Dodge dealer about the special NV3500 fluid and they didn't even have enough of that to sell me. But then I noticed that the front label of the pennzoil synchromesh had the product # for the Chrysler stuff on it and said it was a direct replacement.
I didn't really see any difference in 1st-5th gears. And of course, reverse is still gone...

Can a shift fork replacement be a DIY type of a job? Will I need any specialty tools or knowledge above and beyond being mechanically inclined?

You need to split the case. It could be a bearing problem too.
In any event if you were going that far you'd be better off doing a complete overhaul. For that you need some special tools.
If you download the FSM's you'll see what's involved in tearing down the NV3500.

Use the '00 manual as there isn't one for your '99. The manual comes as a .rar but you can download the utility to convert it to .pdf for free.
