The fluid is thicker when cold so you get a harsher engagement when you put it in reverse. Also, part of that problem is that the transmission is wearing out but it's highly unlikely that you need a rebuild very soon.

You can check that by putting it in reverse with your foot on the brake and tapping the gas pedal.
