Automatic transmission problems

My 4.4L with 150.000Km on the clock has a transmission problem. I lost my reverse gear. Anytime I tried to reverse, the engine just revs and the X5 stays on the same place. If I am in a horizontal plan, it moves very very very slowly while in reverse, but if thereīs a sligh ramp it just doesnīt move at all. All the other gear work normaly, so itīs not the clucth otherwise it wouldnīt move forward too. Only the reverse gear doesnīt work and I donīt get the " Trasmission safe mode" notice on the dash, which is bizarre. Will take the car to dealer but would like to hear what you have to say.

Reverse uses a different clutch pack from the forward gears. The only option for an Auto is a complete rebuild whenever there is a problem. Brace yourself for at least 5k plus in repairs. It could be a linkage or control unit issues, either way this will be a very large repair bill.

Does this just happen to the 01-03's? In 2004 it got a new 6 speed tranny. I wonder if it's still problematic.
