    5r55s - If front pump goes out, is trans garbage now??

    I ended up putting in a fresh built transmission and the torque converter ended up not being set right and now the front pump went out and lost all pressure. Is it possible to just change the front pump and get lucky that it did not damage anything else?? I know enough to get me in trouble...

Those few days it acted like it could probably use maybe another quart of fluid, I could see it try to barely slip on...
