a vehicle of mine did the same, except it wouldn't go into reverse without adding transmission fluid. after changing the transmission filter(easy to do, but 20 bolts) and putting on a new trans gasket it ran fine for for another 12 years until i sold it. wish i didn't sell it.

ever notice why transmission repair chains aren't really around anymore, but service shops may still try to have you rebuild your trans? they'll tell you that you have broken bands when what you actually have is a lack of trans oil pressure. i.e. a loose pan bolt, water in the trans filter, or a bad leaking pan gasket.
