Front pump seal replacement

[fastblackcar]

last year i replaced my converter and also front pump seal, 2000 miles and now it started leaking, when i replaced it i never let it hang, put the trans in and tightened the bolts right away, is there a better front pump seal available?
thanx

What year is the pump housing out of? Is the return hole opened up to .250in? Did you loc-tite the front bushing in place if replaced? Is the bushing bore a press fit or did the previous bushing spin if it was ever replaced? The front bushing may be worn excessively or walked out toward the seal blocking the return oil. I always use additional sealer on the font seal to prevent leaking around the seal. Sometimes the seal bore is scored form previous rebuilds and careless seal removal.
