Torque converter troubles

I have a 99 f250 7.3 recently the torque converter wont lock up i can get it to lock by letting off the gas at 60 mph and messing around a bit but if it does lock then it wont un lock if i come to a stop it wants to stall the engine i put in a manual tc lock up switch to see if i could get the tc to lock but it dont unless i play around a bit the truck has 178,xxx miles on it and i don't know when the fluid and filter has last been changed i just bought it a year ago the fluid does look a little bown and smells a little burnt but i don't want to change the fluid if the tc is shot anyway i might as well just get the tranny rebuilt anyone have any ideas? thanks
