You are lucky. It is giving you warning. Most don't. Sounds like rebuild time.

forward and reverse are not the same clutches. when you "rebuilt" it, did you check clutch pack clearances or just throw it back together with replacement clutches?

this isn't the 3/4 clutch pack in question. it is the reverse input clutch in question.

Your best bet would be with the trans builder. He knows what is in it, what he did(or didn't do) and where to look. Gonna be tough to find an exact answere here. If it is slipping at all, and fluid level is good,you are gonna have heartburn regardless.
