Transmission
About 2 weeks ago I pull out of the gas station. The truck does what its supposed to. Then suddenly locks up in the middle of road for about half a second then releases I guess you'd say. I was a quarter mile from my house , so I just drove it on. I noticed then that it took a lot longer for it to shift out of 1st..and maybe 2nd. The next day I go to check it out and no reverse. Like its in neutral.
What's my plan of attack? I can work on cars but know nothing about transmissions.
Thank you

Assuming it's automatic. Reverse is usually one of the first things to go in an auto when it's time for a rebuild, in my experience. Try topping up fluid; if fluid level is OK you're probably looking at a rebuild. Take it to a transmission shop (not general mechanic - they'll just outsource it and mark it up - find a dedicated transmission shop). They'll be able to guide you.
One of the reasons I have a manual is because domestic automatics need servicing about every 100K unless you absolutely baby them all the time,
