The "thought it was coolant related" is very easily diagnosed by inspecting the coolant and ATF.

slippage due to ATF contamination usually means that the clutch friction plates require replacement as the water/glycol in coolant will delaminate the clutches.

The torque converter itself is almost always replaced in a transmission rebuild - the company called CVC have the best ones with updates etc.
