Car in limp mode. No reverse. Sometimes in the morning, reverse will work once or twice then it will not work. No check engine lights on. Drives but due to limp mode, it will not shift into third(?) Gear.
ATF fluid level is okay.

Also, flushed ATF fluid from cooling line four days prior. Top off with same amount of Maxlife ATF. About 35,000 prior flushed out ATF using same procedure and maxlife ATF.

Hello and welcome to 2CarPros. If your vehicle goes in limp mode then there should be a code posted. The issue sounds more like a transmission failing. If you can get it to a transmission shop I would recommend you take it over and have them test drive the vehicle so they can at least give you an opinion as to whether or not it is a transmission issue.
