No reverse has happened twice on me. The last time no overdrive either. Trans shop checked, everything OK, no codes, then the 2nd time ocurred . Sit overnight and everything OK. Fluid level fine, no discoloration, and no clue.

Yup, I agree! They sell a clip that bolts to the valve body and holds the filter from falling off, I make my own after haveing one (from Ford not brand-X!!) fall off.
