Got the transmission back and and a "Lesson" well learned......100% my fault because I didn't have the converter positioned correctly..... How can that be, I have done this many times before...... Seems that with the converter not in correctly and mating the trans to the engine while tightening the bell housing bolts it pushed the converter into the trans and broke the parts inside the pump..... I used a electric ratchet and didn't feel the resistance of the bolts telling me "Hey Dummy" stop you have a problem here..... After tightening the bolts and putting the Converter to Flexplate bolts in everything seemed normal....... Duhhh !!!....... So.... If you think you know everything like I did,,,,, Double check as it was an expensive fix...... and Embarrassing !!!!!

As stated, that happens to everyone. My family calls me crazy, but I almost never use my air tools when working on my Camaro. I guess I'm old fashioned and got that from my dad. If I can't "feel" what's going on, then the potential for mistakes is magnified.
Glad you got it fixed.

You should arrange those broken parts into a shadow box for garage art.

Finally got the Hydro Boost and got it installed..... Had the high and low pressure hoses made and installed.... Had to reposition the proportioning valve...... LOL..... Had to take the fender well out to get at the brake lines to make new ones to suit....another one of those simple things that turned into a multi-hour fix......Anyhow got the reservoir installed and hooked up .........filled the system with fluid and have to go thru the process of bleeding all the air bubbles out of the hydro boost system...... Then all I need to do is bleed the brakes and put the Hood on.....Then it needs to go for a Dyno-Tune to get the system balanced.......Another one finally finished......
