Since I know very little about how a trans works, what are some of the things I should be prepared for when I stop in later today to check on its progress..
Thanks in advance..
You should be prepared for "We took care of it for you, no charge."
Unless of course the converter wasn't fully seated and you broke the pump gear.
Good luck to you.

Though we are on the right coast, you can ask my friend who's father is probably the best Trans guru in the nation. Curt is his name and Curt Sr. will be the answer guy. Post me on mail and I'll get you in contact with him.
If this situation turns into a big ordeal, I'll ask ya for his number.. but I was trying to pick up some information before I talk with my trans guy...
Thanks anyways

I probably should have stated that in my first post.. the converter was seated properly and the two tangs on the pump are ok..

pump should pickup oil if it's lightly oiled or not. maybe he forgot to put the filter on or the spacer if u have a deep pan.
That was my first thought too after I read your converter was seated and no tangs broken on the converter or pump.
Could you hear any buzzing coming from the VB area?

if the engine is running, the trans pump is pumping.
im pretty sure it doesnt circulate in park. A chevy does, but a 727 doesn't. It may be pumping, but to somewhere, the level will not drop. It is the same in park as with the engine turned off. It will read over full.

We got the trans back from the shop today.. The owner told me he could not find anything wrong and he said he checked everything real close.. The one thing we both noted is the Red Line synthetic trans fluid we used turned from a strawberry soda look... into a cloudy milky strawberry soda.. I figured the oil probably aerated and it was actually foamy.. but I guess thats not the case.. The trans guy said thats common when water is introduced, but there is no way water can get into the trans as it has a separate trans cooler.. Anyways, we're putting the trans in tomorrow and we'll see what we'll see..

Start the car in park first and then go right to nuetral, then go through all the gears and back to reverse and wait for the transmission to kick into gear. Make sure your level is right at the add 1 pint line when running cold. I had the same problem and found the o ring on the filter was not seated correctly on the valvebody causing the transmission to suck air.Make sure you got enough fluid. Your fluid should not look milky unless he used the wrong band on your drum.

How would using the wrong band cause the fluid to turn milky? and what is the right band?
