I have never had this problem personally.... but you might want to take your center console out and check the reverse light switch. When you shift to reverse there is a switch that comes in contact with the shifter base and closes a circuit to turn the lights on. Use a multimeter to see if the switch is good or not and see how much resistance it has when the circuit is closed. It should have close to 0 ohm resistance IIRC. If it passes this test, make sure it is adjusted properly.

Forget the console, the backup light switch is on the transmission. If you have had clutch work it probably isn't plugged in.
