If you arent having any symptoms of a reverse drum failure then I would check the fluid level.
http://tech.bentleypublishers.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/72-16089-142522-1634/B305_240.pdf If that does not fix it, change the fluid. Finally you will need to take it to a shop where they will either find an electrical issue or suggest you have the tranny rebuilt.

I would not have expected those symptoms to be the crankshaft position sensor.
Im glad you got it fixed.
