As yours is a 2001 model it should have the stiffened drum fitted. Do you happen to know if its serial number (on the green plate rivetted to the LH side of the maincase) is greater than 355863?

I would look to see what it is but I am not sure it would be helpful because this transmission was rebuilt twice (car is almost at 210k miles) already. It's been 30k miles after it was built the last time and we have been driving it very gently since then. That is why I am a little surprised it would go bad so quickly.
I am reading the valve body 'orifices' may also cause some similar issues, so I will get the Sonnax valve body rebuild kit and replace everything next..
Thanks,
