Developing shifter problem?

For the past month or so, probably about a half dozen times now, I will start the truck in the garage but I can't seem to get it into reverse right away. It may very well be a timing thing with me depressing the brake pedal, but I'm not so sure. I've been backing the truck out of the garage for five years and I've never had a timing issue, and I'm definitely noticing it now.

Is/was there an issue with the brake pedal as it related to putting the vehicle in gear? Could it be something going on with the brake pedal for that function? It is very sporadic, maybe once or twice a week it happens (I don't take it out that much).

Trying to gather info before hitting up my dealer. Thank you.

Let me know if you decide to have the dealer take a look, BCM. I know we've chatted in the past, so if you need my help after your appointment, just give me a shout. How many miles are on your truck these days?

Just about to turn 52,000. Thing is it isn't consistent. To me its a waste of everybody's time to take it in if it isn't going to do it. I did have to go out this morning and she was fine. Still trying to determine if its a timing issue or what.

I understand completely, BCM. If it starts happening more regularly or if you can easily replicate it, I'd recommend getting your dealer's hands on it. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how things progress.
