Thank you for your replay! After extended web search torque converter lock-up clutch refers to the y3/6y6 solonoid.
should this component be replaced or i have to change all the trani board?

they want to do the whole conductor plate
all I have done so far is get them to scan the car ($500) here is what they had to say from that Vist “found current fault code for
transmission 2511 friction power of the torque converter luck up clutch is too high. nature of the fault is internal transmission fault, lifted
vehicle and performed visual inspection of transmission, found minor fluid seep along the pan gasket. recommend transmission fluid and filter service to start if not been done recently.”
so about two weeks later they got me in to do a transmission flush ($1100) and it is still down shifting rough and occasionally it will get stuck in gear and do a limp mode but if I shut off the car and let it sit for awhile it gets out of limp mode

My god,$500.00 to scan it and $1,100.00 to do a transmission flush?
Did they even tell you what if anything was in the pan when they dropped it? Fluid condition / Burnt?

Sounds like the converter may be done but you have to get into the ECU with STAR and see what the clutch fill times are and test out solenoids.
Be prepared the trans may be done and need a rebuild.
Does the car seem like it's "pushing" through the brakes when you stop or almost want to stall when coming to a stop?

Sounds like the converter is staying "on" wich will give you that effect. So either it's bad or it's electrical.
You really need to have your own Star/Xentry computer system if you are going to own one of these cars.It's cheaper to have bought one than to have paid the dealer just one time.
