My brothers torque converter was going. What it would do is slip then catch just on the start up or down shifting. We pulled the converter changed it out and it runs fine now. 2001 7.3 F250

My torque converter on my 99 had a bad vein inside of it. Made allot of noise we changed it out and it runs fine now.

Both torque converters we used were from junk yards. Figured will change it out to a reman unit when we do a full trans rebuild.
