Default T-56 Manual Trans Warning light

Hi does anybody know why my T-56, 6 speed transmission dash warning light would come on for about 20 seconds while accelerating gently up a slight hill in 5th gear at about 2000 rpm. It's never happened before, I checked under car on my arrival home, there is no oil leak anywhere. Car is a 1999 SS VT Commodore.

Only thing I did differently was about 5 mins prior I did a bit of a jerky gear change between 1 and 2nd.

I recently rebuilt the engine (3000 miles ago) had the transmition out of the car, filled it till it was level with the top of the oil filler hole with dextron 3 as per users manual.

Any Ideas what might have caused the warning light?

What was the warning light? American cars don't have a transmission warning light.
