I need your help with a tranny problem I'm having.

Describing the same exact problem I have now aquired.
I had this happen to me ONCE, months ago, very briefly but it has been fine ever since so I didn't think much of it.
I just had my VX at the dealer for that annoying rattle some hear at 3k rpm. They replaced the exhaust pipe from the end of the header > cat > T.O.D pipe & back to the muffler flange. Included was a spankin new O2 sensor too, all covered under warranty (second owner of 99 VX w/ 46,000 on it )
BUT, since the day I put it in reverse for the first time in the dealer parking lot after having my exhaust work done, it has been doing this ever since, EVERY time!!!
I start the VX, wait a min, put it in reverse, RPMS raise a bit and stay there but then just sits there and the VX doesn't move
I am forced to go to drive & back to reverse for it to catch, sometimes it will slooooowly roll in to reverse but a majority of the time I have to switch the auto tranny to drive to get reverse to work. Then, when I go back to drive to take off the tranny clunks louder then I think it should even though it is an automatic!
What's going on here folks ?
I will also note that several months ago I had come home from a long weekend only to find my VX had bled tranny fluid all over my drive way, dealer replaced rear trany seal a few bolts for the cross member and filled the fluid back up but never provided an explanation of why this happened.
There where ablsolutly no leaks of any kind before I left for that weekend and that's what I came home to.
There are currently no leaks at all even now with this new problem (I look every chance I get just to make sure cuz I'm like that).
I don't beat on my VX but do drive fast with power mode always on. Hardly any off roading unfortunatly
Is my tranny dead or what and if so WHY!!!???
Need to get all the warranty work done as I'm rolling up on 50k
