Call who made the converter and see if they will flush it and inspect it.

i would recomend to actually have it rebuilt and the stall changed ( that would be what i would do) but if you want to save money , you could do what is called a cut and cleaned. its exactly what it sounds like, they cut it open clean it out inspect it and weld it back together.
