I hope it is just this. Were you noticing anything unusual with reverse the last few times you drove it? Same happened to me and the reverse clutch pack went out and I had to have the transmission rebuilt. Mine did have some slight symptoms before it went out, mainly that reverse did not seem to engage as hard when I would initially shift it into reverse.
