recently i had my trans rebuilt with the ss mega monster kit and threw in a vigilante stall at the same time...i was getting on a highway and it just dumped all the fluid in less than 2 minutes. long story short i put it up on a lift put some fluid in and kicked it over to see where it was coming from. to my surprise its actually coming out of the hole in bell housing and fast. the only thing i can think of is a tc fluid seal...any ideas?

well im gonna pull it tomorrow and start the wheres waldo of trans leaks. i beleive the converter was seated right because i did put a decent amount of miles on it. something that will be checked either way though. ill post up pics and keep you updated.

hmm well hopefully i did the same thing. i was really tired when i put it in so maybe i didnt have enough man strength for it. still seems weird that i was able to put 2k miles on it without a noticeable issue...

i just pulled it. its a seal failure. but im more worried about the cause. isnt there a pressure relief on the pump? because the seal had blown all the way forward (no tears or signs of stress even) and i have yet to locate any form of relief. is ALL that **** supposed to hit on that one seal?
