Oh sure. I go to school for 4 years and have been a mechanic for 20 more and you want to learn it all from a web page? Knowledge can be passed on but you might as well be asking about quantum physics. Specific questions about specific problems can be easily answered. I'm not going into full details on how transmissions work.
Check out the Calgary Drag Racing Association (link below). There are a few pages on torque converters there.

A good place to start before spending any money would also be at this website:

Check out the garage section and you wil find all sorts of neat things. Then when you get done, there is a pretty good list of manufacter retailers that supply parts for thirdgens on in the links section.
But defiantely wind up getting a book in the future, you never know when you might need it
