loss of reverse means a fluid pressure problem
maybe an oil pump failure or torque converter

do you have forward gears?

best get it to an automatic repair shop fo a diagnosis or service
might be a clogged oil filter or a solenoid problem
if you have good forward gears you shouldnt need a gearbox rebuild
