Fluid/filter change is a good idea. Bands have nothing to do with moving forward from a dead stop but an adjustment won't hurt.
If that doesn't correct the slipping, the rear clutch is the most likely culprit.

I'm not one to disagree with John as he has way more knowledge on the transmissions than I do. But will say it certainly sounds like a filter clogging up when running and then dropping some of the debris back into the pan which allows a short time for fluid to pass until it sucks the debris up again. Fuel filters will do the same thing with a rusty tank. I would not be a bit surprised to find a lot of friction material in the pan and filter. If my suspicions are correct, a fluid/ filter change may buy a bit of time but I wouldn't count on it lasting very long good luck and keep us posted

Your better off to find a shop close to home, I did the “ I’m going to a reputable shop” that was 1000, miles away. Had issues with it, poor workmanship, wrong converter 2x, the shop owner was a pr##k to deal with. My $2000.00 ended up costing me $3500.00. Had a local guy fix it, he gets all my tranny work from now on. The shop that wanted 4 k is nuts!. Jim

I would be leery of any shop that would reinstall an un-cleaned VB in a fresh overhaul. A governor pressure sensor and solenoid replacement should be part of any overhaul.

I had $1400 in parts alone for my 47RE..... but that was 16 years and 150k miles ago. Glad it’s just a hobby. I still hook up to my trailer and go anywhere without a worry. For clutches and seals? What else did you upgrade while you were in there? Kevin

What else did you upgrade while you were in there? Kevin Input shaft and hub, clutches steels, all thrust washers and roller bearings, valve body kit, GOOD torque converter. All parts at dealer cost and aftermarket VB kit and converter.
