Transmission Problems

I have been having trouble with my 2008 Ford F250 4x4, 6.4 liter diesel transmission. SCT tuner, 10" lift, egg delete and dp delete has been done. I have been losing power mainly in reverse but have noticed that the transmission hasn't always been going into the last gear on the interstate. Code PO741 would come up. The other day the shifter was stuck. So I played with it and found that the cable on the transmission had fallen off. After replacing it. The transmission wouldn't go into reverse but has been doing semi good in forward. Well I have been limping it around until today when I was going down the road and it completely stopped pulling. Now no matter what gear I place it in, it will on go in reverse. Any ideas of what could be causing these issues or where to even begin to start looking?

double check that the cable is still installed and properly adjusted?

I have checked the cable. It is still installed. I even crawled under the truck to see if it switches through the gears while someone moves the gear selector. It does change gears but doesn't change the outcome of what the transmission does.
