Is the Lucas oil rated the same as ATF+4?I would be really easy on it untill you figure out what's causing it.

Is it shifting and slipping when driving? If not, your clutch packs are fine.

Are you sure the fluid is topped off?

Make sure from now on, use Dex/Merc Mix Transmission Fluid.

Did you put a new 2+ clutch torque converter in with the build transmission?

What else is done to tranny? just converter? valve body or shift kit? Always run full syn (atf+4) trans fluid, seeing that is what they call for.
