rebuilt 4l60e Just rebuilt my 99 chevy blazer 4l60e and reinstalled. When in gear, feels like brakes dragging. Pulled transfer case out and noticed tranny output shaft turns in neutral when vehicle is running, and trans fluid spurting out vent tube. I have all forward gears and reverse. Could this be a problem in the rebuild, if so, where to begin the search.

So my 95' silverado 1500 460le a few days ago while driving stop and go then on the highway got stuck in 3rd. Wasn't far from home, parked and next couple days it worked great. Well today I ran to town, 40 mins away, ran some errands, everything was fine, but leaving town i punched it to get around a guy and ever since, its stayed in 3rd. Pulled over ran through each gear, reverse, only 3rd n reverse would work. Made it home, crawled underneath and noticed, for the first time ever, tranny fluid spattered around. Found it was coming from the blow by/vent tube. Checked fluid level, idling, warm, etc. It has been a bit high but currently it's just a tad high. Barely above the hot notch. Trannys been acting up in recent months. Some slipping, not shifting into 1st. What I'm wondering is if maybe the vent leak and stuck in third are related, or point to something in particular that I could address to make it a little while longer? My truck is my lifeline and I cant quite afford a rebuild for another month or so. I mean any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
could be....
1) clutch clearances too tight, maybe you have too many steels in the over run clutch pack?
2) reverse input drum spring pack broken
3) 2-4 band is too tight
4) wrong valve body gaskets used
if you have no drive shaft connected and the trans is spinning in neutral, i'd expect that to be normal. The trans is in neutral, but fluid leaks in the whole system will cause crossleaks and bleed over into other circuits. What counts is if the vehicle is on the ground, in neutral and tries to move, that would be an issue.

No codes currently but engine light comes and goes. I'll see what codes I can get when they show up. No blown fuses either.
