If indeed you were diagnosed to have a faulty torque converter? A bad torque converter can and will damage your transmission. Replacing a transmission new or used will not be a cheap fix. Bad torque converters lead to overheating, fricition, and severely degraded transmission fluid. If left not replaced even more damage will occur to the transmission. Transmission will need R&R to replace the torque converter. Be sure to completely flush out all transmission fluid and replace with proper transmission fluid since the transmission fluid will be degraded. Bring your Z to a reputable shop you trust. I would be looking preferably for a transmission shop or driveline shop that has worked on our cars before search and you will find. Definitely check out your throttle bodies first that would be one of the first things I would check and clean them as best as possible.
