Shifting into reverse.

I posted this question a while back, but didn't get any answers, hopefully some will see this and be able to help me soon.
I have a Mazda B4000 96,Automatic, with 172,000 on it, my problem is this:
This happens more often when cold than warm, so I haven't had it happen recently. When the truck has been sitting, overnight etc, when I start it and put it into reverse, it takes a few seconds to engage, kills the engine, and the O/D light flashes at me.NO check engine light at all. If I turn the key off, and then start it again, put it in reverse, everything is fine. It never does this in drive.
Fluid levels look fine. I don't know where to go from here. Let me knwo what you guys think.

Has the fluid and filter ever been changed? It's probably not the root of your problem, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt. Perhaps the cable is loose?

Do you have a scanner, you might find a code.

I do not, but will O/D faults show up on the same scanning log?

They may set a code in the pCM, see if a local parts dtore will check it for codes. FYI, their scanner may not pick up all the codes.
