Transmission Help! Please
Just had the transmission on my 1990 Bronco II rebuilt and it was working great. I had a quick oil change service add 1 quart of transmission fluid by mistake and did not tell me After driving about 150 miles on the highway I smelled a strange odor and stopped to find transmission fluid pouring our of the front side of my transmission case. I removed the excess fluid but I think it was too late. After driving about 300 more miles my transmission started to slip under normal acceleration. I was able to get home but can anyone give me an Idea as to what will have to be done to fix the slipping. The transmission shifts great but any type of hill causes a major problem. I was told the high fluid level probably destroyed the torque converter. Thanks for any help!!

(IF) your trans is an A4LD ( code T one the label pasted on the driver door ) you need them to look at the spacer between the flex plate and crank as well as the needle bearing in the crank nose ( yes, for an automatic). These center the nose of the convertor and can be a continuing problem for blowing out the front seal(s) due wear causing run out. Its a well known A4Ld problem from some time back. Have them check the bell housing bushing as well for wear.Your rebuild was likely soft seals and bands...not much else. Make sure they check all this stuff or you will be back in in about one year when the warranty runs out if not sooner.
