Have read of this happening with a reverse piston failure, however, failing to reverse are symptoms initially, then as it gets worse, all drive is lost.

Some reading HERE

An interesting THREAD

and SOLENOID info

....... and should it turn out to be a reverse piston issue, there's a low mileage one for sale

It is not something I have experienced, personally, but have been watching out for issues with auto boxes, no doubt I will come across something over time lol.
