The D and 3 are different between the Trans Am and Camaro.

Do NOT drive your car again without it!!!

Chances are you have already done a decent-severe amount of damage, I'm sure it is slipping.

With a coverter that size you HAVE to have a cooler. Hopefully you can salvage it.

Mine hit the limiter a few times at WOT and it was after I installed a cooler. I ended up being low on fluid

From what I hear, it can also damage it with the stock converter. (sometimes) trans coolers are a must!
