Transmission trouble

My transmission is having problems. When I start it up, everything runs fine until I put it in reverse. It is like it does not actually shift, and I just begin slowly rolling down the driveway. Going forward works, until today, when I hit the gas, and I began to go, but the engine was revving way too high, and I had no power. Is this something that I can fix, or do I need a whole new transmission? Thanks.

The transmission fluid levels are normal, and look good, but I am not sure the last time that it has been replaced. I did notice however that the engine oil was low, so I am going to fill that up right now
