S*** damn it!!

I put together an amazing 70 Challenger 440 six pack clone .Plum Crazy Purple full rotisserie nut and bolt rebuild. First car cruise completely done. I stop at a red light and notice smoke coming up along side the car?? I open the door and look under and its transmission fluid leaking all over the brand new TTI exhaust and under carriage!!! I pull off the road and call a buddy with a trailer to come rescue me.
It looked like a simple front pump seal had failed in the B&M transmission. So I pull the car in the garage and spent a week after work tearing it apart and cleaning and detailing the under carriage including the exhaust which had stained from the fluid burning on it. I had it completely done on Friday night ready for the weekend cruises.

I fire the car up and begin to fill the transmission with fluid and it starts leaking immediately. I'm like "WTF?" but I'm also highly pissed off and proceed to get in the car and I rev the engine pretty hard AND PUT THE FAN RIGHT INTO THE BRAND NEW RADIATOR!!!! Now I have to pull the tranny again and the radiator!!!! I had to close the garage and walk away before something else bad happened!!!!!

Turns out after having the transmission looked at and torn apart the problem was actually the weld on the stub shaft of the torque convertor!!! Brand new B&M torque convertor which ran out of warranty in the box waiting for the car to be finished. I was a lot more hot headed when I was younger and have learned to be patient and think before doing something stupid but man has my patience been put to the test at times!!!
