Torque converter crack

Look at the condition of the hub. The hub is done, and the bushing that supports it is also gone. I doubt that you wore through the bushing, although you won't know until you take the old one out. Remember, the converter hub must be like a journal on a crank, baby-*** smooth, and the surface it rides on (pump bushing) must also be baby-*** smooth. The seal will be shot too. You bought all the right parts, pump gasket, pump o-ring, bolt seals, pump bushing and the front seal. Replace all of those parts, or you'll be yanking the transmission out again, and have to do the job all over again. Oh, and while you're at it, have a close inspection on the two tangs on the inner pump gear. They could be FUBARED also.
On a side note: I never, in almost 30 years in the transmission business, ever saw a re-builder replace the converter without replacing all those parts you've purchased, especially the pump bushing. Even if the old bushing "looked" good.
DO IT RIGHT - ONCE!!
