The converter snout is smooth, no grooves. The seal looks brand new and internal spring is present. Has very few miles on it. I do have a couple new seals though too. I will have to check the selector shaft for leaks. All the leak appears to be coming from inside the bellhousing. I will verify the pump bolts are tight also while it is out. Need to get it back together and driving by Thursday. Stripes are supposed to go on Friday.
