Honda Civic EX 1.8L 2008 w/auto trans and 135k mi. Bad torque converter?


When I arrive to a stop sign it has a hard time downshifting from 2 to 1, I need to give a brake and wait 5 second until I feel or hear a clunk which means it has already in 1rst gear.

Another sympton is vibration it has been increasing these days under normal operation, it is a small vibration like a non balanced wheel. It feels in to the transmission stick.

Based on readings I would like to know if this could be a bad torque converter.

Thank you
