Another TCI trans problem

[Rodzilla]

I got my car on the road at the same time as buying new house. So I fired up the car for 1st drive which was to move it to new garage. Approx 7 mile drive, during last mile I experienced slipping and weird noises. Got home to discover fluid was burnt up. Drained it, refilled to find that 1st seems to engage, but reverse barely unless reved up a lot. Aren't they on the same band, makes no sense. I am running a cooler plus running it thru the rad, I cracked a fitting to confirm that there was fluid. Lost a pint or more in a minute.
Trans will have to come out. Any thoughts on what to look for. Any recommendation for good place to order parts for rebuild that ship quick?

Forgot to mention its a full reverse

Forgot to mention its a full reverse

manual valve body.

They are on the same band, but involve other parts also, so it's probably not the band.
Forward or direct clutches.
They probably cut a lipseal or broke sealing rings putting it together.
Well. I guess if they left all the valvebody bolts loose that could do it too.

TCI has got a bad reputation.

Ya, unluckily for me I bought this trans more then a year ago before learning about their bad rep.
