Bob what happens is the torque converter drains down and fills the bottom of the tranny which overflowed via the missing O-ring. From what I can determine, all converters leak down but some quicker than others. When I first noticed the problem, I was 2 quarts + low. Manny said no 425 can survive that.

Larry, I don't know about the parts list but Manny said that HF has a Viton O-ring assortment.

Good point--hadn't thought about the leak down but on the other hand do you think that is happening? I have not seen leak down being very common and it is usually obvious if you have no drive untill the engine has idled for a while. Regardless, sorry for your expensive failure !
