Another dead Trans???

Well, the trans in Melis's car has started acting up after about 3 weeks.

About a month ago, I removed the trans to replace the front diff. While it was out, I adjusted the brake band to spec (6'#'s then back 3 turns).

For a few weeks it shifted great, in all gears, smooth as can be. Earlier this week she mentioned that it would slip in 1st and 2nd under hard acceleration. I told her to try it with the selector in 2nd, and that seemed to help the slipping. By the time I got here to look at it on Thursday, it was starting to slip no matter where the selector was.

I checked all the lines for kinks, pulled the resistor and tightened the brake band about a turn. I also checked her TPS, there was a dead spot, just above idle, so I swapped that out.

It is slipping in all gears, including reverse. It seems like it's not getting pressure.

I'm getting it towed to my place so I can pull the pan and check the internal filter. Anything else I should check??
