How do you tell if your transmission is out or if its the torque converter?

Usually the tranny will go first, but it really doesn't matter. Take it to a shop that specializes in tranmissions, or if you want to experience the pain of replacing it yourself, take it out and haul it to a reputable transmission rebuild shop. Either way, they will tell you to replace the torque converter as a wise precaution even if it's not the problem. As there is no way to clean out a torque converter, any muck or metal shavings left in it will just get into your newly rebuilt tranny and ruin it fast. So count on a new converter no matter what. Also, if you replace it yourself, be sure to fill the new converter with fluid before assembly and flush out the cooling lines before hooking them up. One last thing, be sure to spin the converter when you push it into the tranny. You should feel it go in steps, about 3 or 4. If you don't get it in all the way, the converter will shatter the front pump assembly when you tighten the tranny to the engine. Then you'll have to take it back out and get it repaired, and it WON'T be under warrranty.
