Daihatsu automatic car. Reverse gives very little power.

I changed the transmission fluid last year and all of a sudden when I go in reverse now, the car goes into reverse and actually starts to roll backwards, but when I add some gas, it helps up to a certain amount, then all I hear is the engine running faster but car goes back slowly. The other gears seem fine.

I took a look at the TRANS fluid, it is not red but brown, but does not look/small burnt, can it be that they put the wrong oil in? Is there any solutions besides putting in a new gear?
