(If I shift to reverse and attempt to accelerate, it just revs at me/goes nowhere unless I luckily get it in gear.) I have had this vehicle for a few years and never had a problem like this.
I brought it back in and asked about it, and the guy said the gears under my shifter were being worn down and it must have been a coincidence it happened at the same time as my transmission was put in. I don't believe this is the problem as it was perfectly fine before bringing it in, but I don't know the most about cars.
Any input on this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

As viggy58 said.
The shop is giving you a bunch of bull about gears under shifter.
The shifter is straight cabel push and pull to transmission.
If the shop sold it to you and installed it is is up to them to fix it on there dime.
Unually no reverse is internal transmission problems.
There is no such thing as a brand New transmissions.
You can Only get used or rebuilt or repaired.
Did they repair yours orput in a used or rebuilt transmission.
What was the price range of the transmission?
As asked any warranty on it?
If you would give us make and modle and year and engie and transmission and 2 or 4W info we might be able to help more.
If 1993 or newer the transmission is computer controled and a transmission capable scanner would help point to problem.
As the shop to put it it on there scanner and see what shows up.
Ask for and.
Post back and codes and shift data and there readings.
