Default torque converter

what are the symptoms of needing a new torque converter? my tranny seems like its slipping but in every gear so my first guess was a new torque converter....any suggestions?

if you gas it hard and the rpms jump up and you do not go any where need tc is shot but how many miles you got on your trans. you might not want to just put a tc in it an the rest of the clutch packs are gone in the trans. drop the pan and see what it looks like.

the trans was rebuilt 20k ago and i just had a shift solenoid **** the bed on me i think i killed the tc driving it home cause it was stuck in 3rd gear but when i droped the pan there was nothing in the pan or the filter im pretty sure the trans is fine

Sounds like a torque converter. You can often hear the blades inside grinding when they go out.
