Auto tranny problem

[Doug Yoder]

Hi everyone-

My '91 100 (non-q) has some driveability issues which I think are 
related to the transmission, but I'd like to get some other opinions too. :)
Car drives OK most of the time, but when I am accelerating in low RPM 
(under 2500 or so), the car shakes a lot.  The happens usually in higher 
gears.  When braking and while stopped at a light, the car "wants to 
keep going" (thats the best way to say it, I think).  IE, when braking 
it feels almost like you're driving with one foot on each pedal.  Also, 
the car hesitates a little when you press on the accelerator (worse when 
you stomp the pedal, still there a little when you are gentle).
To me, this sounds like the torque converter is slipping.  Any other 
ideas?  I have no experience with working on transmissions... is the 
torque converter something that can be fixed/replaced easily?  Will I 
need a new/used tranny?  If the torque converter is replaced is it worth 
doing the tranny at the same time (ie, you're in there anyway...)?

Thanks,
-Doug

By the way, this is a 097 4-speed slushbox under dicussion.
