There is a chance that it could be the torque converter but in all likelihood it is the transmission. However, instead of replacing the transmission you could avoid backing and if you have to back up just put it in neutral and push it back.
Ha-ha! That reminded me of the time I had an Opel GT (small 2-seater) & the cable lock on the gear shift for reverse, broke. I used my left foot out the door & pushed it backwards to reverse out.
/Ahhhh, memories!
with that mileage unfortunately I would assume you're transmission reverse has gone out I see that many time in Ford product says they age and you have to strip the whole transmission and rebuild it because the internals are breaking down
