That will more easily result in a wiped out front pump in your transmission. The torque converter ends up trying to push the pump rotor through the back of the pump. The back of the pump (the pump cover) is made of aluminum, so that damage happens very easily and quickly. It usually will happen so fast, you won't get the car around the block before it stops moving. That's exactly why you want to make sure you have free clearance between the torque converter and flexplate before bolting it up. If the front pump of the transmission is fine, that wasn't the problem.
