Is it making any noise when the the engine is running? wrirring noise or anything? It sure sounds like either pump to me. If the convertor was not seated in the the pump tabs and the engine has been started a few times,you can bet there is some damage by now.

Don, I don't want to pour on an already damp parade, but It's gonna have to come out. I have been there before and kidded myself that I could do something without pulling it. It doesn't sound like it's pumping any fluid. You may even damage clutches by running it like that. I believe you will either find pump drive damaged, or if memory serves, I believe you can install drive gear back wards in the pump, and I think the drive taps are offset, so installed back wards the converter will not engage the tabs. Either way you need to check the converter, and the pump drive. And I know the feeling, I have had several in my life that at one point I would have pushed off a cliff.......... Actually have one now, a silly trans leak, just a drip, but I can't find the source, and stop it..............
