It could be a leak on the rear band servo or some other mechanical reason on the low reverse set up. Adjustments and pressure checks should be done per the Turbo Drive instructions but band tools are likely non existent. Most band adjustments can be done with a modern torque wrench as long as you can find out what the torque specs are.

Pulling the pan will give you an idea of what condition the transmission is in. If there is a lot of metallic material in there then the rear clutch pack may be shot. Color and consistency of the ATF should still look relatively clean and have no odor of burned material to it. That rear clutch pack is what operates reverse gear in unison with the rear band. The rear band holds for both low and reverse gear but the front clutch pack is for all forward gears only. The front band holds for 2nd aka intermediate gear only.
