I know this is an on going problem on these models but I have never had and hard shifting or any problems with my trans with around 110,000 miles on it but went out to the store today and noticed some slipping on the way there and when I went to leave I made it 1 mile from the store and it went no reverse, 1, 2 or drive within a 10 mile trip any thoughts on what's wrong I've never had one go this fast and the fluid level is fine as well and fresh

I adjusted the bands about 3 months ago with fluid and filter change

Or the filter has failed and caused loss of pressure.
