what shifter do you have? it maybe something up there but more likely, theres a solenoid that keeps you from going to the reverse gate at certain speeds, it just sounds like that isnt opening up and your pushing through the solenoid.

Did u plug in reverse inhibit solenoid connector on d/s of trans near shifter? I would check to see if connector is plugged in otherwise it will be hard to put in reverse if disconnected.

Reverse solenoid has a black plug / skip solenoid has a white plug. Be sure you didn't reverse these. A problem shifting as you have would be the result of a swapped connection.
