Need transmission help

My transmission just started to slip in reverse. all forward gears work fine. fluid is full and clean. I first noticed it when I was backing my trailer up after a hunting trip in the mountain.
Could this be something simple or do I need to find a new transmission?
It is not showing any codes.

I talked with brian at BTS he told me that I burned up my clutches.
He told me that by locking the transmission in low gear while I was coming down a step grade burned up the clutches.
So its new tranny time.

Sorry to hear about your tranny. At least you know that you have received advice from one of the best transmission guys around.
