Default 4L60 pump exploding have problems

Today I had major problems with my pump, my transmission builder said it looks like the pump sezied up and broke the pump slide, 10 vane rotor and front hub of the TCI torque converter.

He installed a trans-go no yo-yo pump kit, 10 vane rotor and slide, has anybody broke a pump with these parts in, or is there a better way to build the pump? My other question is does any company like FLT sell pumps that are built already?

Thanks for your time

The pump should be fine , These pumps are good durable units , when they fail its ussually due to some fault ot for instance debris from converter ect , I wouldnt worry about it to much ,

I should of mentioned in knocked a nice chunk out of the converter shaft where it incerts into the pump. So I am not sure if it was the coverter shaft being weak and letting go first or the pump locking up
