Check for leaks, have those fixed if any. Check for wetness around the transmission pan. There are hoses in the front to the transmission cooler in the radiator. Make sure there's no leaks. Then replace the transmission filter and fluid. Make sure to add Lucas Transmission Fix at least this one time. I vouch for it, its not a miracle in a bottle. If you have no mechanical or electrical problems with it. It will shift better that new. It is important that you add fluid in increments as to not over fill the transmission. If you do, take some out immediately. If not it will find its own way out. You can add the fluid while the vehicle is on, running in park. Just don't get injured, fast rotating parts.

I would check the transfer case. The transmission is shifting manually thru the gears okay. The transfer case 4x4 module is not communicating to release the case so the vehicle will move.
Make sure all the fluid levels are full.

need to get trans looked at no simple fix without looking to diagnose problem,dont drive it till its seen to as it could be serious
SOURCE: 1995 subaru legacy - transmission fluid dipstick?
find the dipstick ,its their somewhere lurking and yes the transmission fluid goes down the same hole ,,,chock drive wheels handbrake on warm engine(running) with reverse selected to check trans oil level
SOURCE: what oil for my 1995 Subaru Legacy 250T?
I know I will get some argument on this one, but regardless of what manufacturers recommend, the best possible lubricant is a good synthetic. They far exceed any manufacturers needs in both lubricity long life and resistance to thermal changes. they do not burn off or form deposits readily and work in any temperature climate. as far as rating, a 10-40 or 50 works for everything. With synthetics those #s are almost a decoration on the can because in reality they cover a far larger span. Personally I would not use mobil1 (too much additive package not enough real stuff) on the other end, amsoil is one of the best (they even offer a 0w50 oil)
Whatever you use make sure you keep it clean. A good oil filter is essential and if extending oil change intervals, you can just change filter and any oil lost.
I know I've ranted, but the actual lab testing results and notes I've made over the years is far longer!
good luck whatever you decide on!
SOURCE: Transmission does not engage into reverse sometimes.
Sounds like filter and fluid change would be in order. If it does finally go into reverse that would be my best guess. Hope this helps and have a great day.
