A mistake easily made is installing that pump gear upside down. If a shop installed the gear it's on them, if you did it consider it paid education...You'll have to pull the pump, measure the thickness of the gears and replace them as a set. No big deal actually, the key is knowing when the converter is fully engaged. The Turbo-350 should have 1-1/8" inches of clearance from bell housing to converter pads. If you have to use the bolts to suck a bell housing to the block,STOP! Sometimes a converter will disengage while raising and installing the trans. http://converter.com/images/CONVERTER%20INSTALL.pdf
