Blown Tranny - could it possibly be the torque converter?
The other night at 12:30AM, I had the peddle floored and on the 2nd to 3rd shift, it kicked hard, the RPM's soared and I went nowhere. I towed it home. The car will still move both forwards and backwards, just I have to run 4000 RPM's. The fluid level was good and the color was same as it was when I put it in. It is possibly that my only problem could be the torque converter is bad?

You can do a stall test/brake torque to check your torque converter. Do it in park too. It sounds silly but it checks the stator. Sounds more like worn cluths or a bad pump thou. Your tv cable may have gone out of adjustment too.
