Auto trans im assuming?

Check your fluid levels. Maybe A fluid/filter change in the tranny would help. If not you may need some adjustments done in there.

How long is the engine running before you put it in reverse? Reverse gear uses the most oil to make it happen. All the oil is draining out of the upper tranny and has to be replaced when started again.
