I would fix it earlier than later, depending on the cause it may be damaging other parts.
I just rebuilt on that lost some parts and only driven a few miles after issues started and you could see where the gears had rubbed together.
This is what I found in the gearbox when I stripped it

Many Regards

On mine it was down to the rear mainshaft nut coming loose - easy enough to check by taking off the top cover on the transfer box (or removing the overdrive if you have one).
