Apparently the bushings in these transmissions wear out. There is one in particular that doubles as a seal. As it wears down it starts to leak more and more, which reduces pressure to the clutch(es). I'm not sure what the exact symptoms are, or if it's even my issue, but it's a known weakness/flaw.
While rebuild the valvebody I was really hoping to find something wrong or broken, but no such luck. Even the rectangular seal that seals the VB to the case was in perfect condition at 90k miles.
