Hi Rafael,
Bob and Roland have both given very good advice but I feel a little more
diagnosis may help.
With the gearbox tunnel loose get the car hot enough that the reverse drive
problem is established.
Then remove the tunnel and then manually operate the overdrive valve by
pulling up on the lever on the side of the overdrive opposite the solenoid
several times.
Now remove the plug above the overdrive operating valve. Be careful as
there may be some residual pressure. Lift out the spring spring guide and
ball (use a magnet) then pull out the operating valve. This will ensure
that there is no oil pressure in the unit.
Now try reverse.
If the problem persists then the issue is mechanical and the suggestions
that others have made should be followed.
