there not many way to know if a torque converter is good the only way to see into it is too cut it but its not normal to hear something loose . Normally when you shake it nothing is supposed to move. I would change it if where you

IT is actually perfectly normal to hear something move around in the converter. the stator will move around a bit in there is for shake it.

Who told you the converter was bad? It drives the pump so if the pump goes you usually have nothing. If a converter goes you hear noise inside it when running most the time....but not sure on these cars.

Never heard of TC's dying ..

Tranny fluid pump in the tranny died ... time for teardown, rebuid or a JDM tranny swapout.
