Yeah the jack worked great.
Some of that is from me smacking it out but yeah it's chewed up. The other dowel pin is still in the block.

Spent today running around buying parts. First went to the transmission shop down the street to see if they had a pump bushing for a 47RE on hand. They did, and he even pressed it in and staked it for me.
I also had them check my torque converter for leaks. It was leaking at only about 20 PSI, right at the base of the drive hub. So he gave me the name the place he uses for torque converters and told me to let them know that he sent me. The place was called Top Line Converters. I called them and they had one in stock, so I drove to their shop and picked up a reman converter. They actually rebuild them right there on site, so that was kinda cool. The new one is a low(er) stall billet single disc. Should be a slight upgrade.

Yeah, supposedly the stock converters were too high of a stall. Supposedly a 48RE converter swaps right in but not the other way around. Good thing you tested the converter👍.
You have me wondering about my converter now seeing how my trans leaks even after a new input seal.
This one is supposed to be a hair less or on the lower end of the stock stall speed. I think the box says 47/48RE. Glad I had it checked because I'd have been pissed to find out it was the torque converter leaking after all this.
FWIW I couldn't see where it was leaking until he pressurized it. Hindsight is 20/20 but I should've taken pictures.
That's all I can think of. It could've been a little out of balance and over time the fatigue caused a hairline crack.
I wouldn't have had the converter pressure tested. Glad you're smarter than me.
Man, that's a new one on me Joe. I learned something. Glad you've found the issue.
