"bogged in reverse"

I have an ls-1 in my 51 Chevy 3100 pickup. The transmission is a 4l60e. My issue is that it seems to "strain" when in reverse. If I mash the gas it will back up, just seems sluggish. So I put the truck in reverse and took my foot off the gas and the truck will not move unless I apply the gas ?? What do you guys think? No worries ? small issue ?, No issue ? All fluids are at correct level.

Reverse clutches. Might post this in the auto trans section, but I'd venture a guess that it's in need of a rebuild.

Edit: I assume all forward gears are OK?
