It only leaks when in gear, and it leaks fast--one quart per minute. The fluid is draining from area of torque converter, but can't be sure. Is it possible it's the output shaft seal? Would that make sense if it only leaks in a forward or reverse gear? What else could it be?

No, it wouldn't be an output shaft seal because that is on the other end of the transaxle. That would likely be a front pump seal.

Thank you moderator. Have you ever seen a massive front pump seal failure on a tyranny with less than 5k miles on it since rebuild? Yes, the vehicle sat for a year.

Its a $10 seal. They can and do fail. Sometimes you get a bad one and sometimes it gets a slight bit of damage during intallation that causes it to fail.
