Lazy converter

I have a 02' f150 v6 67,000 miles. When I come to a stop, the trans shudders abit like the converter is still locked up. It then goes to stall in a few seconds. this does not happen all the time, fluid is clean. I understand there is a simple fix for this, or is this normal?

I don't know it being a simple fix but the converter diode ring (one way clutch) is hanging engaged.
This causes a direct coupling through to the trans the same as a manuel trans.
Not normal.
The shudder is the same as not disengaging the clutch on a manuel.
Trans has to come out to effect a repair, if that is the problem.
Good luck.
