Stalls when put into drive or reverse

You are welcome. The information I added for the part number is for a sedan.

If you have a chance, let me know how things turn out and if it was in fact the converter. I would still try to have it scanned first because it is a lot of work to replace the converter. That is your call.

Take care of yourself.

Sounds like a plan. Here is some info you may find helpful. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

Was it the TCC that was bad? As far as possible issues, it could be dirt, simple wear, solenoid, and so on.

Let me know.
