Problem,Tranny or converter?

I am starting to have a wierd problem with my tranny.While cruising up hill with light throttle I notice that the car seems to stumble but it feels more like the tranny.Not really a stumble but like a slip.The rpm's raise about 1-200 rpm for a split second then drops back down and when I give it more gas it's fine.I am getting a shake in the engine at about 1,500-2,300 rpms and I think it's the torque converter.Would a bad torque converter give that "slip" porblem?When other trannies have gone out on me it's a really noticable slip but this one you have to be paying attention too to feel.The tranny is full and works flawless everyother time.

sounds like your lugging the engine. that 1-200rpm increase is most likely the TCC disengaging

Yeah it almost feels like it's lock and unlocking constantly.If I give it more gas or if I let off it stops.

bridge the termanals on your ALDL to lock the tourque converter (a and g i think, the two top outside ones) and try and re-create the problem. if it no longer happens it is your TC unlocking and locking.
