Powerglide transmission question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AAA towed my truck home the other day and they didn't use a flatbed, instead they hitched it from the front bumper.

As we towed it into my driveway there was smoke coming off the trans and the smell of burnt fluid splashed all over my firewall. it looked like it was coming out of the trans dipstick tube.

I pulled the motor and could tell that the torque convertor was discolored from extreme temperature.

It now paints a stripe of fluid down the street any time I drive it, Does anybody know what the heck could have happened?

Does an aluminum powerglide bolt into place where an Iron powerglide comes out? Is it the same shift levers and such?
