I have a 97 Silverado k1500 with a 4l60e transmission and im leaking quite a bit of fluid out of the hole right under the torque converter and fly wheel. It first happened on the freeway about 200 miles form home and out of nowhere i blew out almost all of my tranny fluid. So i pulled over let it cool down and filled it back up. It shifts fine into all gears as long as i keep the fluid level up I have already pulled the whole thing and replaced the seal and it continues to leak. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be???

I had to do this on my 1988 F250, if I remember correctly:
Remove in this order:
Driveshaft, Starter, lower cover plate, transmission, torque converter.
Flywheel s/b bolted to converter.
When driveshaft is removed - plug gap in tranny output - between drive shaft and housing - to prevent fluid spillage.
When removing transmission - plug hole in converter to prevent spillage.
When handling converter hold it flywheel side down until - to avoid fluid loss.
I presume you have all the correct tools and a helper.
hope it goes well

did you use lock tight on the torque converter bolts when installing them? it may be coming loose and ruining the seals. It doesn't take much. You may have some kind of buildup on your output shaft or a bur of some type that is cutting the seal. Check the outside hub of the torque conv. for roughness or spurs. The seals should work if everything is done right.

Possible leaks are 1. Transmission belly Pan gasket 2. Front pump/torque converter seal. 3. Transmission fluid cooler lines 4. Axle seals at right and left half shafts.

CHECK UNDER VECHICLE IF TRANSMISSION FLUID UNDER TRANSMISSION MORE LIKELY PAN GASKET LEAKING FLUID.IF FLUID HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED THE PAN GASKET GET HARD LEAKS FLUID.THATS IF YOU HAVE SLOW LEAK.IF YOU LOSING LOTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID ITS .LEAKING AT TORQUE CONVERTER SHAFT SEAL.LEAKING AT COOLER LINES.CHECK COOLER LINES FROM RADIATOR TO UNDER CAR WHERE COOLER LINES GOES TO TRANSMISSION. AND CHECK LEAKS AT FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AXLES SEALS

TRANSMISSION LEAKS COME FROM TRANSMISSION OIL PAN GASKET LEAKING.OIL COOLERS LINES LEAKING.LEAKING AT TORQUE CONVERTER FRONT SEAL.TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR SEAL LEAKING.FRONT AXLE SEALS LEAKING AND LEAKING AT TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES TO RADIATOR.CHECK ALL YOU WILL FIND LEAK.IF YOU HAVE FAST LEAK OR PRESSURE LEAK.WITH CAR RUNNING IN PARK EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED LOOK UNDER CAR IF YOU SEE FLUID LEAKING OUT IN LARGE QUANITIES.COOLER LINES LEAKING OR TORQUE CONVERTER FRONT SEAL LEAKING.IF YOU HAVE SLOW LEAK THE LEAKS HAS TO BE AXLES SEALS OR PAN GASKET LEAKING OR VSS SENSOR SEAL LEAKING.

CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL.TORQUE CONVERTER NEED FLUID TO LOCK UP.IF FLUID LEVEL OKAY.CHECK TRANSMISSION FUSE.IF FUSE GOOD.TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID DEFECTIVE.OR TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SHIFT VALVE IN VALVE BODY STUCK-OR TORQUE CONVERTER HAS INTERNAL DAMAGE.

Converter is slinging the fluid out as you are running down the highway. If you replaced the front seal on the transmission and checked for a leak elsewere and found none. then it has to be the converter doing the damage. Hope this will help you.

You are suppose to put the torque converter on the bell housing first, then align the engine to the torque converter slot. I hope nothing has been damaged.

Are you clear full on transmission fluid? sounds like you are either low or was to low and burned up transmission. Does the oil on the dipstick smell burnt?

It's leaking front the front pump or converter seal the transmission will have to come out
