what symptoms have u experienced?... i found this in one article....
"If the one-way clutch fails to hold its position and freewheels in both directions, the torque converter can’t multiply torque normally and the vehicle will accelerate slowly (like starting out in 2nd gear). The only cure for either condition is to replace the torque converter."

sounds like what mine is doing... cant do a burnout and is a dog off the line...
