Fmx trouble please help

I got a fmx mated to 351w, trans was on back of a 302 and no problems other than small leak around tail shaft seal but shifted great. Now I decided to install mildly built 351w so figured it'd be a good time to build tranny. Installed after build and immediately it was slipping. Pulled trans out took it back to shop and he said the forward seal was blown. Installed again, after about 15 miles same result! Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this. It is fine in reverse, but slips bad in forward gears. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

If the forward seal is blown the belville return spring must have flipped. Have them install a new spring.

Thanks for help, I will have him do that. I hope thats all it is. Is that something that's hard to notice? This guy has been bldg tranny's for a long time so you would figure after me taking it back he would have caught it
