transmissions problems!! just rebuilt

Here's my problem i no reverse and i just got it back a week ago it got a lot of part that i order from patc alto red clucthes this is what i got for the trans.


http://www.transmissioncenter.net/dodge.htm

The level 2 Viper transmission comes with all four sets of Alto Red Eagle clutches with Kolene steels plus a direct clutch PowerPack, a Fairbanks TransAction Kit, Sonnax high performance low / reverse servo, Carbon fiber band and a heavy duty intermediate band strut, Sonnax Billet Aluminum 4 Ring Accumulator Piston, Sonnax 16% Oversize Intermediate Servo with Cover and the Power Wedge Intermediate Band Anchor. The heavy duty / high performance torque converter that comes with this package deal can be ordered in stall speeds up to 2800 RPM (gas #6D). This transmission (518, 618, 46RE, 47RE) is good for any type heavy duty / high performance use up to 500 (gas) horse power using pump gasoline, towing, 4WD, high performance and others. Add torque converter upgrade if needed. The Viper transmission has 7 major performance upgrades. All of this can be yours without a trade-in for $2542.00. Add $250.00 for a Diesel or V10. Add $100.00 for 1996 up 4WD. Add $299.00 for a diesel single clutch billet converter and $576.00 for a diesel triple clutch billet converter. Add $334.00 for a gas single clutch billet converter. The freight runs from free to $165.00 after freight discount in most cases. Click on the pictures below to see the Viper performance upgrades.



I'm trying to figure it out why the reverse just all of the sudden would go out.
so i called the guys at Goerend a talked to one of the techs there he seam to to think its the 800lb spring or its the overdrive section may not have be rebuilt. please help me out thank you

any input would be great.

thank u to this great site.

Did you or someone else do the rebuild? If someone else, what'd they say about it? Warranty?

Does OD work?

If it does, I'd look a the rear servo first.
It can **** in the bore and prevent the rear band from applying.
Pressure test the rear servo first.
you should hear it thump with 50-80 psi.
