Reverse quit working in my 99 Ranger 4x4 automatic. All forward gears
work fine and fluid doesn't smell burnt or discolored. What should I do
next?

Take it to a transmission shop

Yes it is likely that you either have a valve body problem or the
failure of a clutch pack and time for a tranny shop unless you know
how to repair them yourself.

Is the fluid hot?  I had similar problem and the fluid was too hot because
of a defective gasket.  Fluid lost hydraulic properties until cooled down.
Check to see if you have reverse after letting the truck sit and the fluid
to cool down.  If this is the case, do you have too much/not enough fluid
in the trans?
Good luck.

Don't try to drive in reverse and just sell it quickly.

What help?  Are you planning on rebuilding it yourself?  You need to
take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

Well, honestly, there's no reason for you to follow the thread anymore. One
person told you what to do. It's not like one of us is going to tell you
there's a screw that fell out of your transmission, and all you have to do
is put it back in, and reverse will be restored.
