Carlos,
 The problem of the car "freewheeling" in reverse is because the O/D is just
between engaged and not engaged. If the O/D was engaged it would not back up
at all and will destroy the O/D if you try. The problem is the O/D clutch
thrust plate is not moving to the full "normal" position, due to binding in
the pilot holes in the O/D casing, or weak or coil bound return springs or
possibly the clutch disc is sticking to its mating surface. In any event it
will not likely cure itself and no access to those components is available
short of removal. Sorry.
Dave
