    So I was on my way to work this morning and I started slipping in 1st. I pulled over and it was dumping fluid out the top of the bellhousing like pouring out quicker than you could pour it in. I'm thinking it's either the front seal or the torque converter. Looking for advice, thanks for any tips in advance

    Check the trans dipstick. It can leak at the tube to trans seal. Check the trans cooling lines. Sounds like you have a bigger problem than that but a boy could hope. Otherwise, your first two guesses would have been my first two guesses.

    Yeah I don't think I'm lucky enough for it to be one of those lol. I also got it stuck in some sand yesterday and was getting on her pretty hard. Which makes me lean torque converter even more
