Yetserday I was backing out of the driveway- made it about 15ft & heard/felt a bang underneath me. I hit the brakes in case I ran over something by accident- all was clear so I tried to continue....no reverse. I was out of the drive enough I could get on the street & buzz around the block testing it out. All gears worked Forward, 4x4 Hi & Lo worked, just no reverse.

SO.... can I just replace a bad gear in an Auto Trans or am I looking at a full tranny replacement? Anything else I should know/look for/tips/tricks/help?

Thanks!

Bad news...almost all cases of reverse gone involve pulling tranny, and teardown. Rarely the low reverse band servo cover gasket will blow,
 
Sounds like the reverse band broke.tranny has to come out and apart.
 
All very possible causes but those early 5R55E's are famous for blowing out valve body gaskets and I've personally seen the failed gaskets cause a no reverse , no forward, MAN1 only or 3-4 shift flare.

Check valve body gaskets first before you condemn the tranny!
