The easiest is to get under and look at the linkage bushings, it will be
clear if none are there or they are broken. When the bushings on one
of my SDs went the shift lever was pretty loose (lose), a symptom you
don't seem to have but easy to check underneath anyway. Then look as
Gerry suggests at the various mounts to make sure nothing is collapsed
or missing or broken. I know nothing about the adjustment.
The linkage bushings are a bit fiddly to replace but they are cheap, and
probably should be checked/replaced anyway if you are messing with the
transmission.

The failure of reverse after hitting a pothole is suspicious. In addition to
checking the linkage rods and bushings as Kaleb suggested, check the engine
mounts and the transmission mount. A combination of broken or collapsed engine
mounts and/or transmission mount might possibly have shifted the
engine/transmission enough that reverse does not engage.
Sometimes you can see an engine/transmission shift just by looking at the fan
which should be parallel to, and centered to the radiator.
The car can be driven with no indication of problems even though the
engine/transmission may be shifted/mis-aligned.

I think so but I would check the linkage first. If it does have the
bolt it will be on the side toward the front, it will be a bolt with a
lock nut on it.

Does this transmission have the external adjustment for the reverse band?
Kaleb? Curly?
