Unhappy Torque converter gone bad...

Well my car has been sitting in my garage for the past month waiting to get fixed or figure out what exactly is wrong with my tranny. Well i think i have figured out the problem which is the torque converter, now i was told that i can install this myself but wasnt sure if it was worth the time and hassle or just to take it to a tranny shop and let them put it in. Does anybody know anything about this converter? I am trying to decide if i should do it at home or just take it to a shop. My car(auto) wont go into any gear... it just revs and sits there, however it will go into reverse after a few seconds but it wont back up any slightly steep incline. I have been told my numerous people that the problem is my torque converter, so this is why i am asking what you guys think, if its that and if i should just work on it here at home if thats the cause of the problem.... thanks

Injen

Tranny is probably screwed up , not torque convertor.

^^yup... and it's not really that easy of a job. You need to drop the tranny out from under the car.... lots of tools are needed for this.
