Yes most likely you need to rebuilt Transmission, this year of transmission is prone to failures like this.

Testimonial: "Thank you for your input. I was hoping that wasn't going to be the case but due to its age and mileage i just needed a confirmation."

Sounds to me like your gear for 4th is damaged. I would find out how much it would cost to have your transmission serviced before you go and replace the whole thing. Beautiful thing about a manual transmission is they are cheaper and easier to repair or replace than an automatic transmission. If you can do the work yourself I would rebuild it before I would replace it.

1994 shift only when overdrive is off.

first thing to check is transmission oil level and quality. If that is fine than your looking at either a valve body problem (valve body is what controls the selection of gears) or possibly a problem with the bands on the planetary gear set, they can be tightened in certain models. However i dont think it is the bands.
Does the overdrive only engage 4th gear? or does it feel like the gear ratios are different between overdrive and normal before the problem happened? some overdrive buttons engage final gear and some do as much as change gear ratios like in a cvt (contantly variable transmission) and some just change the timing in the gear changes to provide more rpm/power.
My best guess is that the valve controlling the overdrive in the valve body has failed and therefor you dont get a response from the transmission (i.e no gear shifting when overdrive is selected)

I have a 1995 lincoln town car signature series and I having a problem with my transmission. When I put my car in reverse gear the car does not want to back up.

Check the oil level inside. The automatic transmisions are working oil based. If not enough oil, not enough pressure for moving the hidraulic mechanisms inside. The clutch is also actioned by oil pressure.
