Default 98 aw4 reverse problem

Ok so I left work and I put my jeep in reverse and it worked great. I park in gravel and when I backed up it spun the tires over. I drive home far lunch and let sit in my yard far 15 minutes and now it barely moves in reverse. I put it in forward and it will roll the tires over in Gras but not reverse. What can I look at. Where do I need to start looking...

Maybe the transmission shift linkage is out of whack? Other than that I don't know, if it still works a little bit it might be a sensor...

Maybe try this? I'm ignorant in information relating to transmissions.

I'm thinking it is clutch related but I'm not sure I'm going to ask a trans shop to see if they can help me out....
