itsnotanova is probably correct. You have likely damaged the pump. The TC seats into the pump to drive it. The tabs aren't all that hefty, so if it's not FULLY seated and/or you force it on, it will be damaged. The pump is fairly easy to swap from one box to another. Remove the trans and set it on end, bellhousing facing up. You'll need to remove all the bolts from the front flange inside the bellhousing and the pump can be pulled at that time. Lift and wiggle, it WILL come out. The new one literally drops right in.

On the reinstall, make sure the TC is FULLY seated in the transmission. It helps to have one person hold the output shafts and the other set the TC in place and then slowly rotate until you feel the tabs catch, then the TC should just pop into place with a little even pressure. It's obvious when it drops into place, so if you're not sure, remove it and try again.
