Question Reverse slipping??

Hey all -

I have around 20K miles on the truck now. I have the 5-speed auto...

Sometimes when I am in reverse and give it a little gas, I feel a hard bump like it is slipping in reverse gear. I am already in reverse and going backwards, but then it just bumps kind of hard. It does not do it all of the time either.

Anyone else have this crap happening?

Not U-joints. No clinking or anything like that. Plus, the truck is less than a year old, and I drive it very easy....but thanks.

There is a TSB for when you are going in reverse and the gear pops out to neutral. It a quick dealer download.
