My first guess is that the torque converter came out of the trans pump....
next, you pulled the trans and motor together using the bolts rather than
hand pressure. If the converter and pump have survived this treatment, buy a
lottery ticket.

While my job may seem like a "cake-walk" there are ever so many caveates,
warnings and things that go "gotcha" that the neophyte can only learn the
hard way.
