Had that happen to me with a project car. Turned out the rear brakes were dragging to the point they were locked up. Turns out the self adjusters tightened the brakes up when we pushed it backwards. Installed the adjuster incorrectly.

It's normal for a TF equipped car to push harder backward than forward, this is due to the increased internal friction in the trans when moving backward and sitting for years exacerbates the condition.
I would drive it around a little to get the fluid circulating and see if the condition improves.
