If there is nothing loose rattling around inside and the Transmission Fluid is clean and the surface where the seal rides hasn't worn down, the torque converter MIGHT be ok to use. You're taking a gamble and you'll have to decide if it's worth the risk. I'd rather spend a couple hundred on torque converter now, then grand on the transmission when the converter fails.

92 vigor im having your transmission rebuilt your mechanic says that you also have to have the tur converter replaced What is that?
The torque convertor acts as an automatic clutch for the transmission. If you are replacing the transmission, I would recommend replacing the convertor too, especially if the trans fluid is burnt or contaminated. If you have a manual transmission, run, there is no torque convertor :)

Why does Astra auto 8v stall when slowing?
If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, then the torque converter clutch is probably sticking. The clutch is controlled by a solenoid, that moves it back and fourth. The clutch material can get stuck to the inside of the converter and stall the engine. Have the transmission flushed, and if the problem persists, then have the solenoid replaced.
