Arrow at 70km/h uphill only in Overdrive, Transmission hesitates

1996 Trans sport with 360K KM on it. FWD, It has Overdrive and Drive position on the shift lever.

The slipping happens while driving up a hill at approaching speeds of 70km/h to 100km/h. (43mph to 63mph) in Overdriver Only.

Only occurs while the transmission is in Over Drive. If I put in Regular Drive there is no problem.

It feels like the van makes a loud jolt/clunk noise from the transmission when it hesitates/slips at those speeds uphill (mostly) or downhills.
If I'm doing 120KM/h (74MPh) and then go up the hill, The transmission doesn't slip.
It happens on the smallest inclines, barely a hill.

I read up about this issue. So far I'm guessing I need to check the Torque converter clutch fuse under the hood.

How would I know if the torque converter clutch was the cause?
Thanks in advance. This is a Nice forum.
