Can you please post or help diagnose this problem.

Vehicle had poor shocks and poor motor mounts.

Accidently drove off sidewalk curb in reverse, giving motor and trans big
physical bang downwards. When first driving forward no problem in 1st gear,
but when automatic shifted to 2nd lockup as if two gears being engaged
simultaneously.  This problem seemed to go away when I changed the fluid,
which was burned.
Now, major slipping major in reverse, works best when cold.  When hot will
not enter unless high revs, and then sometimes not.
Poor upshift, adjusted Throttle Valve Cable, made it driveable.
Have driven the vehicle at least a thousand kilometers in this condition.
Vehicle does not justify full removal, Re and Re and rebuild.
I removed front pan and checked all tubes, for cracks in welds etc.  Nothing
apparent.
I suspect problem may be in valve body, theory damage when driven down into
crossmember, but have not checked.
Before accident, trans worked perfectly.  Rebuilt about 5k ago.
