Camry transmission wearing out?

I have a 1999 Camry V6 that has done nearly 280,000 kilometres and it's been brilliant! However, recently I've become slightly concerned about the automatic transmission. It still seems to shift smoothly between gears when driving, but when I shift it from drive to reverse (or vice-versa), there's a slight hesitation and I can feel a bit of a clunk. I know that that is supposedly a sign of a worn transmission, but given that it is still shifting between gears smoothly, how much longer do you think it will last before I have to replace the transmission? Also, how much does it usually cost to replace on this model?

    that is also a sign of a ujoint, in a rear wheel drive car, specifically the one next to the rear end. have the u joint checked for play rotate the drive shaft side to side watch if the ujoint is sloppy. good luck
