When it does, your rpm's will "surge" because the torque converter is locking and unlocking. You can replace it, but it is located in the clutch packs, have to tear the whole thing apart. I just bought a reman, and no trouble since. This is what the GM dealership told me and I trust them, like I said no problems since. If you want, I can put up a exploded view showing where it is.

What did they charge for a reman trans, I'm looking for options now.

I could use a pinout diagram for the electrical socket, too.

Oh, and sometimes I've seen MAFs cause that idle surge up and down under load, if you have a CAI, but could be a few other things.
