HELP!! dumping trans fluid

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?

Perhaps you didn't seat the converter all the way.

lol....I think he meant if you installed it right, turned it and heard the three clicks.

I thought I had mine seated properly for sure. I decided to check it one last time and really pushed on it hard and it clicked hard. Good thing i checked...

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...

if there was a small gap bet the conv. and flywheel when you installed it, and pulled it forward to bolt it up, it was prob seated ok
conv bushing or seal failure prob.
