Transmission problem
1998 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 100K+ miles

My mother drives the vehicle. She says that when the engine is cold, and she puts it in reverse, it won't go backward sometimes. Usually has no problems after its warm. Forward is no problem. No dip stick for the transmission. Is this even a fluid prob?
