I don't believe he drained it out of the torque converter but at least there are about 70-80% new T. oil in there

Actually well over half of the fluid is in the torque converter.
You can't check the transmission fluid without monitoring the transmission temperature. Just driving 20 minutes is NOT close enough.
The transmission fluid will not "blow out" as has been suggested, the transmission is sealed.
The transmission case is a "scavanging" design, too much fluid and it can't scavange properly and too much fluid is retained in the case. This is bad. You need to get it to a place where the transmission oil temp can be monitored, such as a dealer where the computer can be hooked up to it to use the integral temp sensor.
Did he use the fluid MB specifies for this transmission?
