Can't decide if the torque converter or the transmission is slipping. Is there any testing i can do myself. Problem seems to be getting worse. Today I tried pulling off in 1st manually and it stalled way up before it gradually started pulling. Shifted into second it slipped some more before pulling. Got to highway speed the converter locked up as usual. So I gave it enough gas to where it would accelerate without down shifting and it slipped but accelerated. Seemed like the warmer the trans got the less slipping. The trans is a level 2 performabuilt I've had 5-6years with maybe 80k miles on it.

Was on my way to the shop and the transmission stopped pulling ....no gears suddenly!!! I could hear a rough whinning sound like something was rubbing together. It sounds like the clutches gone bad in the torque converter. Any suggestions??

Could also be your transmission pump.
Compare the trans fluid level with the engine off and the engine on. With a good pump the level will drop about 1" on the dipstick.
Definitive way is to connect a pressure gauge to the trans.

Fluid level and pump checked out fine.

I assume then that Reverse is gone too.

Until the Internet lets remote people get their hands dirty working on your car, I don't think we can help you much more.

Please give us an update when you learn what actually did happen.
Good luck.

Yeah reverse is also gone. No gears all at once. I'll have a update later this week.
