For a car of this quality, a defective torque converter should be the subject of recall. Perhaps it was, but I've had cars go into the 300,000 mile range and not have this problem.
There is a you tube vid of this issue that is helpful in diagnosis : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVGcV3uQSUo.
Good luck.. it's expensive to correct. Also, the drive shaft tunnel bearing generally needs replacement at 90,000 to 100,000 miles.
Otherwise, a fantastic, spirited sports car... Great engine !
