1983 240 Wagon (Auto.) - starts then stalls in Reverse only (video w/sound) 200 1983

I posted a video to help folks understand what I was talking about in my other thread about the wagon stalling after startup. Sorry for the double post I just thought it might help if people could see/hear what was going on.

Video of what happens when I start the car

Here's the link to my other thread:
1983 240 Wagon - starts then stalls when taken out of PARK

Basically the car starts fine (either in Park or Neutral) and drives fine ind Drive but if I shift into Reverse at all, it dies instantly. Very perplexing.

Thanks very much for any help. I'm really drawing a blank here.
