Default Torque Converter "warble?" - Star Case

Good afternoon ram owners

I am experiencing a shuddering/vibrating/driving over noise strips symptoms at certain speeds when the converter is locking and unlocking. It is intermittent, and I avoid those zones where it is possible for it to happen. I do feel like its gotten mildly sloppier as the time has gone on. The TC locks and unlocks too loosely now. I feel like MDS mode exacerbates the problem as well due to the lower RPM's but that is just a hypothesis. This had become a "STAR CASE" at one point in time and many members have experienced the aforementioned problem. I am aware that a bad batch of torque converters were manufactured but forget the part #.

I feel like I am prolonging the inevitable by not changing my torque converter, but the time, and the funds are not available as of this particular moment. I am just wondering if catastrophic failure of the torque converter and/or transmission can occur with this known problem?

Thanks
