Worse case is they Balloon shoving the crank ahead screwing up the thrust bearing, crank and block. More typical in a High hp higher then stock stall.
If something has come loose inside they can kill the engine at low speeds, likely noticable when first put in gear. A vibration or noise is a sign.
Slipping is probably the most common when the converter goes south.
A lot of times convertors get blamed for low idle problems when put in gear with a upgraded cam..when it's a carb or vacuum issue.

Had the stater go bad in one.
Car wouldn't idle in gear and stall. I should say shut off when dropping it into gear.
BUT it was a custom built converter. Usually factory stock Mopar converters rarely go bad.
