When they go bad it gives the feeling of a high road speed miss or when stoping it will stall the engine out

No I am talking about the torque converter clutch that is in the torque converter. The torque convertor gives you a 1:1 ratio when the clutch engages in lock-up, which is controlled by the computer, which yes, you can say is switched on once the TCC solonoid is energized by the computer. The torque converter operates like a normal converter when the torque convertor clutch is not applied.
The high speed miss and stalling happens when the torque convertor clutch does not disenage for whatever reason(like a TCC solonoid you mentioned). I am saying the opposite, it is not being engaged, its not being commanded to be engaged by the computer becuse there is a problem(like the TPS code) Sorry if I didn't make myself clear when I was explaining it.
