Burned out third gear. Again!

Greetings all from England. Having trouble with the 700R4 out of my '89 Formula 350. It's almost impossible to get hold of replacement trannies here so the only option is a rebuild. So, having rebuilt the box to replace a broken sun gear shell the car ran for a couple of days before completely cooking the third gear clutches. The problem appeared to be a damaged seal which was replaced along with the clutch pack. The box was rebuilt and the car tested. Within a mile of driving third went again. It's totally burned out again. All other clutches are okay. Anyone have any ideas.? Is there a known fault? Thank you.
