Torque converter replaced at ~50K miles. Same symptoms as before. When the transmission was replaced, apparently the original torque converter was used.

Should add that both times, the valve body was replaced first to see if that would fix it, before they replaced the transmission and torque converter.

Haven't done any maintenance on transmission and don't plan on it.

I do drive it like a sports car, but have never been to a track.

Question to you. Occassionally I have noticed when I go into reverse ( twice so far ) the car seems to shake a little for a second or two almost like a manual wanting to stall but it doesnt it. Did you have this ?

No. I never got this. Both times there weren't any symptoms that I can tell, until it just died on the road.

I have something similar to what your talking about though. About 1 out of 20 times when coming to a complete stop at a traffic light, it would do it. RPM would drop like it would stall out, car shakes a little, but it would correct itself. I've read about it a bit and cleaning the throttle body is supposed to fix it. There is a Tech Bulletin out on this. I've cleaned the driver's side one, (just too lazy to do the other side for now) and it didn't seem all that dirty to me. I might clean the other side today.

What I do have when going into reverse (or into drive from reverse, or just letting off the gas) is a "clink" sound. Can't hear it with windows up, but for sure can hear it with it down and having something near by to bounce the sound back to you. There is a Tech Bulletin for this also. Supposedly the axle nut has worked its way loose and needs to be re-torqued. A cotter pin is keeping it from coming all the way loose.

Thanks for the response, I am not really worried. Will worry though if it stalls.

Only occured twice, just a little shakey for a second or two. I am not that familiar with Auto boxes hence the question, I do know however that they are not supposed to stall
