Default Shudder

Drove to an appointment on a Monday - noticed nothing amiss
Not driven the next day
Wednesday, put in reverse to back out of garage and the car shuddered strongly. Shuddering stopped when changing gear.
Had two appointments, each requiring backing up - got some shuddering in reverse, but not as strong as the morning startup

Any ideas?

Thanks,
EdP
