If the car acts like it is not going into first gear, I don't think the locking torque converter would be the issue. The locking torque converter only locks when cruising over 35 mph for more than some time (like 5 seconds or something) if I recall correctly.

Can you determine if 4th gear works by watching the tachometer at highway speeds? If it appears that 4th gear is not engaging either, you may have a stuck Shift Solenoid B (SSB). A scan tool capable of monitoring the transmission datastream should be able to help determine the problem.
