It unfortunately sounds like you have a converter clutch issue happening possible converter clutch failure, My advice don't drive the car! Remove and have the converter checked ASAP if the clutch comes apart it can destroy your transmission

Can you say whether the TCC PWM function
is still active? When my TCI began to slip
it would hoot like crazy on light acceleration,
like cloverleaf ramps etc.

Mine's still working smooth but I've made
sure it has all the TCC pressure it could
want. If this is a recent change in behavior
you might want to pull it before it "changes
some more". Provided that tuning helps
none, or if you're already there.
