Question ATF everywhere.........

I just pulled in from a 300 mile trip and automatic transmission fluid just started pouring out between the transmission and the motor. Its coming out the hole in the cover below the torque converter.

Maybe a pump seal?

( I knew I should have bought that stick shift I was looking at......)

Torque converter, bushing and seal kit are being installed. Putting in a larger torque converter this time to help with the towing. The last one self destucted.

This is the 3rd F-250 for me. Two of them have screwed up the torque converter.

I think the Power Stroke is an awesome engine. The rest of the drive train leaves a lot to be desired.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for you but try finding another truck with axles like Ford's and then try breaking them.

FYI,

The first two were 350's......didn't tow with the first two either. I agree, it is time for a 6 speed.
