I am finished with the rebuild. I took a few drives today. One city traffic loop and one highway loop. The fluid is between the two level marks and all is shifting good. Only minor detail to keep an eye on is the torque converter opening. There seems to be a liitle sweat on it. Seal was replaced and torque converter rebuilt. SHARKFEST HERE WE COME!!

Ok
So ive now driven about 2 weeks since the rebuild was complete. Included in this is my trip from Phoenix to Anaheim and back and the fun run into the mountains. The Transmission is shifting great. I do have one small quirk. Although the Transmissions torque converter was completely rebuilt I seem to have "sweat" forming in the torque converter opening. Take a look at this video. I used an inspection camera and doesn't seem to be coming from the input shaft seal. I also checked the torque converter drain plug. To be clear. The sweat seems to form when the car sits. Weird. But.... I AM NOT GOING TO TEAR THIS THING OUT RIGHT NOW... HA.

Interesting 
a really small amount of ATF. Normally ATF accumulates in small drops....
Is there a small "stream" of fluid from somewhere above? If the torque converter is completely dry, take a look at the ATF cooler lines that run to the front.
