Unhappy Help!

I overfilled my Tranny fluid in my 4l80e and now my torque converter is pulsating> Is this connected in any way? 2 quarts over full I think

Yes, the fluid from the tranny circulates through the converter. Don't run the engine, much less drive it, until you drain some of that fluid off.
Hopefully you have a drain plug. If not, you have to loosen most of the pan to drain some fluid.

2 quarts is alot, but it shouldnt be a big deal. I overfilled mine too much and it just came out of the over-flow tube at the top. I drove it too full, and not full enough (stupid ******* dipsticks) and it hasnt blown. I did find some small chunks of metal when I changed the fluid 2 weeks ago though...
