1st sign of a transmission failure. On the outside chance it might be the reverse solonoid. Have a tranny expert do a computer check on it. Good luck

Suggested Repair

Have a transmission specialist perform a computer diagnostic check. Loss of reverse may indicate early transmission failure, or possibly a faulty reverse solenoid.
