R50 auto transmission issue 2006

Have a nice silver 2006 R50 auto with 110,000 miles

After an hour of driving.... stopped.....put in reverse.....would not " catch"...mmmmmmm

Put in Park for 2 seconds...then Reverse...no problem.

Started it the next day. Put in Reverse....to back out of driveway...no problem...

I am thinking the transmission fluid is low ????

What are your thoughts ?

Appreciate any and all

Thank you

Sounds like... yeah, I have no idea. Automatic transmissions work on voodoo, especially CVT's . Could be a solenoid valve or you don't have enough crows feet in the mix or too much crows feet. Crows feet are very powerful voodoo - use with full knowledge. Wish I could be of actual help.
