My 2003 escape takes 3 or 4 tries to go into reverse, every other gear is fine. When putting in reverse, i have to give it full throttle to get it to back up at all. ???

Thanks. I did check trans. fluid and topped it off, to no avail. I was stuck badly in the snow a few days before this started and tried hard, reverse...forward....reverse....etc. to get unstuck. Could this have hurt something?
