Also might be worth checking the transmission mount and Engine mounts whilst you're there.

Torque converters can be anything you want them to be.
The overall cost would be in removing the trans to get at it. (It sits in the bell housing between the engine and transmission).
Torque converters aren't cheap, but you'd be looking at $400 to remove the trans ($600 to remove a tranny, but some people might like her to stay). $500-$600 for a torque converter. Could guess at around $1200. A solid service would be required too.

Hi yeah I was just thinking about it and read a couple threads and yours aswell which sounds like exactly what my car is doing so yeah I'm guessing I'm going to be up for about $2000+ thanks again Fu Manchu I let you know the outcome next week I'll go to auto trans place rather than my mechanic I think

Maybe check the transmission fluid level as well.
