I'm always a fan of checking the easy/cheap areas first since most problems generally stem from that arena. Seems like horrific odds that the torus cover cracked immediately after a fluid change. Not saying it's impossible but....

Never rebuilt one of these transmissions but watched the one in my 1959 Pontiac torn down and rebuilt by an old guy back in 2009 who went to school at Hydramatc in 1958. I asked a lot of questions during the process. He was a walking encyclopedia about these transmissions.
