I would advise taking to a tranmission repair shop, possible all other gears are fine but your reverse, b/c it is not good to replace the tranmission fluid yet,because you possible have some metal in the fluid that the tranny is used to.

 

There is no such thing as 'old contamination' keeping the trans working.

To change the fluid look under the trans for the drain plug that has a 3/8" square hole in it.
Then after you have it out and the fluid drained, reinstall it. The crush washer is usually okay for a couple uses; refill the trans, thru the dipstick hole, with 3 quarts of Honda Z-1 ATF.
The honda fluid has better cleaning and lubrication properties than generic.
