torque converter issue Hey guys, having a slight fear my torque convertor may be on its way out.
When the convertor locks up and I'm slightly on the throttle or just idling at a higher speed (50) I feel a slight lugging or jerking in the car. First stalled auto car I've owned but I know the concept of a triple disc lockup, it doesn't feel normal at all. Any ideas or places to start?

I believe I had a stock tune on my car when I got it. It did have a stall convertor put in right before I bought the car.
It did need some tuning to fix all the stall convertor "side effects". I had to raise my overdrive lockup from 45mph to 55mph. Even with stock 2.73 gears and stock cam locking up at 45mph caused some issue. I raised it to 55. made a world of difference.
