also if it was seated correctly theres measurements that need to be taken, like gap between flexplate and foot of converter some converters need spacers the gap between is like .125, i had a gap of .250 with a fuddle converter, yes it took out the pump on first run, had to use a .125 shim which i made at work, theres a right up on pt.net that explains this procedure, thus keeping from breaking the pump.
