It may be the trans/converter but I would feel better with the symptoms you describe if a professional at least verified it in person if they do give me a call and we can fix you up

Sounds like a driveability problem like your motor is going flat when loaded. Do a light brake torque to see if it starts missing. The clunking that you heard might not be the trans getting ready to fall out but the motor from detonation. Hate to see you get a trans to find out that the motor is not running correctly. Vince
