I would suggest buying a repair manual from the parts store and then you might know if you want to do it or pay someone. some questions i would ask myself is:
Do i have other transportation if i run into a snag (wrong part from parts house, etc)
Am i sure it is the converter - how did you determine it was the problem?
Do i have the tools needed? (transmission jack, etc. the manual should help with what you will need)
Where am i going to do the work - dirt ground is not the place for this type job.
I've found that getting help also helps - just don't give them the beer 'till the job is done
I've got only one shade tree in my yard

Yeah i think i found someone that wil ldo it for about 500.00 and i think that is worth it so i dont have to screw with it. The reason i say the torque con is bad is the code came back as 62 (Torque slip) so and before this it was chattering but i changed the fluid and it stoped for a short time but then the light started blinking (OD) so we know the torque is bad and of course the tranny could have problems as well but wont know till thye pull it out. thanks for the advice.
