If the torque has come loose it could be the lock nuts have lost their crimp. The top of the nut is crimped to cause a restrictive fit on the stud. After being used a few times the threads lose this restriction . Either replace the nuts or clean them and the studs with a brake clean type cleaner, dry with compressed air and use Locktite on them.

If the torque is fastened with bolts the same applies. Tighten the fasteners to

the specified torque.

What could happen with a loose torque converter?

If the torque converter is loose it can do alot of damage to the transmission too. My ex- had to replace the transmission because the bolts were not put in correctly when someone else had changed something out. He had to put in a new transmission and torque converter. If it is running too rough you may have to change it all out. Check the bolts first to make sure everything is tight. If it is then you'll probably need new trany and torque converter.
