Torque Converter issues whining/RPM drop

[GLN305]

Vehicle Details:

2006 Dodge Magnum
53k miles
Oil changed every 3K
Plugs changed at 35k
PS steering pump replaced at 30k (though it was the whine)

For the last couple weeks my car has been acting like it wants to die occasionally when I come to a stop at a light. I also have noticed what feels like occasional driveline slack when taking off from a stop. I also have a loudish whine that is increased when I use Autostick to let the RPMs go above normal Diablo tune normal driving shift points. I got the car at 30k miles and it was still in warranty, had them replace the PS pump to remedy the whine, didn't do it. I am leaning towards the torque converter possibly going south. Any suggestion/comments/ideas?

does the whine go away when placed in park or nuetral??

Yes it does, that's why I am pointing at the torque converter. I kinda hope it is the torque converter because you know you have to replace the cam when you put in a new torque converter

sounds like a bearing inside the torque convertor is gone. im not to sure about dodges since im a gm transmission tech but ive never had to replace a cam when replacing torque convertors and i do alot of torque convertors

The cam thing was more of an upgrade opportunity, replace the TC with a higher stall and then do a cam. Thanks for the advice!
