Default 1985 4+3 issues

Greetings my corvette family, I have a 1985 C4 with the 4+3 transmission, recently I have been having problems shifting it into reverse and when I able finally able to do it it makes a whining sound. I also noticed that my OD light comes on even though I did not engage it. What steps can I follow in order to diagnose it and fix it. I am able to use the forward gears ok, although sometimes 2nd gear also gets a little hard to engaged. I had the clutch replaced about 1 year ago and everything was working fine until now. Thanks for your help and guidance

Every time I've heard of this, it's been an OD problem. You might want to google it, I've seen it discussed several times.
