First check the fluid level, if its low add some asap! If the fluid level is fine, look at the fluid is it dark or burnt smelling, feel it does it have metal shavings in it?
It may be worth your while to get a transmission filter change and a flush out of the system. Flushing is different that just a fluid change, it pushes fluid thru the system to help clean it out. If this doesnt help the reverse clutch inside the transmission is likely broken and in need of professional replacement, which is usually more expensive than a new transmission(from a junk yard)

Your Pontiac sunfire wont shift into reverse when the car is started?
If your car won't shift into reverse, try changing the transmission fluid and filter. Sometimes that will solve the problem. If that doesn't help, there could be a problem with the linkage or the shifter cable. Or, if the car is an automatic, make sure you're stepping on the brake pedal before you try to shift out of park. You may need to have a mechanic inspect the transmission.
