Tranny slipping in 1st and 2nd

Meet monster anyone?

The wife's svx tranny is slipping. Slips on the 1-2 shift (flares) and seems to slip at higher rpm if I hold it in 2nd gear. I held it in 1st also and it may have slipped a little around 4-5k but it is hard to tell. 3rd and 4th gear are fine- perfect. 2-3 shift is nice and firm.
Up until now it had been the strongest svx tranny I had ever felt. This came on fairly quickly. She said it felt weird earlier this week but tonight was the first time I drove it to confirm.
The rebuild is about 20k old (independent shop). Fluid looks and smells very good.

I am going to change the fluid and filter tomorrow. Maybe do a brake band adjustment if that makes sense after some more research here.

Geh.
Woman has been beating me down for a turbo legacy and a tricycle motor and now with this happens.

Any thoughts or ideas?
