Trans problem

2001 Sebring Convertible LXi, 2.7L engine.
Yesterday while driving, the car seemed to slip out of gear briefly, then she went into gear, but would not shift. The check engine light went on at the same time. I stopped on the way home to get gas, and when I re-started, the forward gears appeared to be shifting properly again, but I have no reverse. When I got her home, I scanned the codes, and got a P0733, P0700, and pending P0700, in that order.
I have done some checking, and the P0700 appears to be a generic trans trouble code, and the P0733 indicates a mismatch between the input RPM and the output RPM, which apparently is commonly caused by a malfunctioning speed sensor. The speedometer and rev counter still work, indicating that the output speed sensor is probably not the problem.
Is there any chance that the no reverse problem is related, and might be fixed without having to go into the transmission? (I don't trust my skills with internal transmission work.)
