Problems with tranny fluid and filter swap

Dam i missed that O-ring, could that be one of the problems, i just left the old one there. I also checked the fluid and its overfilled a bit, im just gonna take it somewhere, i'm staying away from transmissions from now on

MY ADVICE ON THE 0 RING AND FILTER- Both are not required providing the transmission is in good function and has been serviced routinely. I have only changed the 0 ring on 2 of the 4L60s i've ever serviced, you create more problems trying to take the old 0 ring out then its worth, you are probley going to score the sealing surface then the 0 ring is useless. If you do have problems taking it out crush it inward with a radiator hose tool.
The Filter, it isnt' a filter we only call it that cause we have called it that for so long. Its a 400 micron mesh screen for trapping metal chips whatever does get trapped in the screen gets -backflushed- into the trans pan once you turn the vehicle off so long as you routinely ever year or 12,000miles service the trans pan and clean it off well you should never have to replace the transmission screen.
