Cooked my torque converter

Those parts are not available as new in the aftermarket. I dont think Jatco sells them either. But a good damper could be harvested from another converter core. Your clutch and steels look okay - used - but okay - and could be reused.

So no lock up is possible to do, but your mileage will suffer and it may throw codes from the TCU. So, for example when it commands lock up, but doesnt see a speed ratio change, cause there is no longer a lock up clutch, it will set a code.

Might consider a different path..
