its either the converter or the clutches are too worn down. in any case, sounds like you need a new trans.

+1 this happens to every auto trans eventually. Even if it is the torque converter and you spend a thousand dollars to have it replaced your clutches are likely worn to the point that they will fail soon.

i have a spare torque converter and i can do the work but is it
cheaper to do a manual conversion or swap a new tranny and sell

Parts for a manual conversion are like $800-900
An auto trans is probably over a $1000 at most junk yards, but I've seen them on craigslist for $500 a few times. If you just swap in a new tranny definitely sell, because it will fail.

After stating two threads on auto transmissions, I'm not sure how this could be new information to you..

That would work. I think it is time to set money aside for something new.
