That's exactly what it is,,,, Torque converter. Mine is in the transmission shop right now. RPM's started going up a few 1000 during highway cruise. A week later, transmission started shuttering, then making rattling noise at idle. A day later, nothing, no forward or reverse. Had to flat bed it to the trans shop.
They took it out and said the torque converter failed and spread metal shavings and dust throughout the transmission. Total rebuild is needed. Just got the call that it's now done. Good thing is my trans mechanic only charged $1200 to remove and do a total rebuild. I guess that's why it took 3 weeks before he was able to get to it. 6 month warranty unlimited miles.
Car only has 59,000 miles on it....GXP
