Did it have reverse before the swap? Or was this transmission just purchased from someone who might have sold a non working trans?

Reverse is usually the first to go in 4l60, id say its time to freshen it up! if it sat for 1.5years thats not good on trans by any means

if its been sitting for a while its possible that the reverse boost valve is stuck.
