On the transmission is a reverse lockout solenoid. I bet you don't have it hooked back up correctly or it has failed. It is there to prevent you from shifting into reverse instead of 5th gear. It can be overcome with a lot of force i.e. two hands.

Maybe it's disconnected, or the fuse got fried during theprocess of pulling/reinstalling the driveline. If you didn't notice any
problems before, then the solenoid itself is probably still fine.
