Angry 740i Tranny problem!!

I own a '93 740i. I am having a problem with the reverse gear. It weems to be worse if the car is warm. I place the car in reverse and nothing happens. I feel the car shift(back end seems to lift slightly) but car will not move. It's like I'm in neutral. I feel the transition from neutral to reverse but no movement. Once the car has sat for a few hours it works just fine. The local BMW dealer just gave me a quote for 6k+ to replace tranny. They told me the reverse clutch was completely burnt up. I asked why it worked just fine in the mornings and the answer I received was"They just do that sometimes.", whatever that means. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.
thanks

Scott
