Still possible though. Years ago a friend and I pulled a manual transmission in a junk yard. He got it home, installed it, and then discovered reverse was completely stripped.

A stripped reverse gear would be indicative of failure to put it in reverse.

If the connecting rods had fled the engine that would indicate that someone succeeded in getting it into a gear it didn't want to be in.
