If this clutch fails, or your stator breaks, then you will have no acceleration until stall speeds or your lockup comes on. It is not repairable and you will need to purchase a new torque converter.

I hope many read this.

thats the best info ive seen on a torque converter problems yet.

I did eventually discover that my hisitation/lag/lac of acceleration was due to timming issues as a result of the bottom timing crank gear wearing out the drift key from lack of proper torque from the crankbolt.

see "lesson learned" https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116/lesson-learned-pics-76293/

At this point i have no reason to think there is anything wrong with the trans. Once i get the motor back in (from the rebuild) we will see!
