95 - H1 will not go into reverse....

I was out with my H1 this weekend and came to a dead end on a trail. When I went to reverse it worked for about 20ft then my truck came to a stop. I went forward and tried again and got even less distance. On attempt 3 I did not move. After winching myself around I was able to get out as all forward gears seem to be just fine!!! When you go from park to reverse you can not hear or feel the transmission engage. There are no leaks and the fluid is clean and at a good level. Does anyone have ideas as to a possible cause? or possible solution??

So I have taken my H1 into a local transmission shop and they are telling me the trans needs to be rebuilt....
Any thoughts on this?
Are they trying to take for ride??

or get a second opinion could be a variety of issues that led to failure of loosing reverse
odds are its a reverse band kindfa acts like a clutch if its worn or started to fail u would have no reverse at all but be able to drive forward no problem
