    "The TC has "fused" itself to the output shaft. The pump vanes are blown apart and sitting in several pieces."

    I don't know what that means but it sounds expensive.

    Therefore, I'm gettin' a new trans this week. Tech at GM says he can get me parts cheap "on the DL" and rebuild it with beefier parts that could support 600+ hp. Charging $800-900. With my recent luck, the rear end will shatter as soon as I hit the gas.

    Will keep you updated.

    Sounds like someone didn&#39;t get the convertor installed correctly before bolting the engine in place and broke the pump.

    Was this with the TCI or Yank Convertor?

    Yes TCI is junk time and again I see them blown. Get a Fuddle converter they are strong as hell and have the best customer service of ANY converter company.
