i recently had to change my front pump seal in the tranny..after doing this i turned it on and heard a screeching sort of sound and going down the road it shifted weird

today it wont shift out of second?

its an auto 700r4
so i dont think i can manually shift it out of second

but i reading somewhere that if the torque converter is bad it will make a grinding noise when on the gas, but the noise will stop as soon as you let off the gas...which is exactly what mine was doing

i'd rather spend 130 on a new t/c then buy a new tranny so im gonna try it and hope for the best
