My transmission went out, so i purchased a new/used transmission. I followed all the steps taking it out, I bought a new front seal and left the original torque converter on. Once I put the new/used tranny back in, the truck would start just fine but tranny fluid was leaking out the front of the tranny. So I tore it apart again changed my torque converter just in case it was connecting right.I checked the front pump cover to make sure there was no cracks or dings and there wasn't. I then replaced the new seal I installed with another new front seal. The seal was a snug fit.I put everything together and once I started the truck it began to leak fluid right out the front of the tranny again. It seems like its pumping too much pressure and forces fluid out. How do I fix this problem?
