if your torque converter was locked up and you put the vehicle in drive typically it would instantly stall or the vehicle would start to take off on you. have a check engine light ? hows it run if your giving it gas? misfiring ? made any repairs lately ?

I just put in a new trans and went through just about every single issue that could arise, including a bad torque converter.

If it is having issues driving, stalling, slow acceleration, etc...then its probably locked up. Torque converter shutter is a symptom of a dying or dead torque converter, also if you hear grinding noises like bad ball bearings or something.
