This happened to me on a 1986 cutlass 2.5. A wire was shorting out going to the map sensor and only did it in reverse. The bracket on the alternator had rubbed a hole and only grounded when the motor moved, when placed in reverse. I fixed it temporary with electrical tape.

If the car does this every time, but is ok in forward gears, then the transmission could have an internal problem. There could also be an electronic issue. If possible, run the computer codes for any bad codes to appear.
