Stalls in Gear, Automatic- Restarts Good- Can Slam it into Gear! EEEK
Not to be redundant, but you could have pulled the gearbox, installed a new converter and been down to the drive through several times by now.
Your converter is JUNK. GARBAGE. TRASH. CRAPOLA. HASHED. GASSED. SHOT. ****. USED UP. WASTED. SMOKED. POKED. STROKED.
Stop looking for a pulse. The cadaver is grey and rigor mortis is full on stiff. No CPR will help, neither will mouth to mouth.
Say a quick prayer to the god of ATF and busted knuckles and get it out of there.
Me, I'd take that converter to the range and shoot it until it was no more. But that's just me. Or I'd smash it with my BFH until it was just a pile of shred.
Hope you stop this insanity soon and fix your car.
