I would have them check it out.
It should be cheaper then doing the Trans over because of crap in the Converter.

I would get a new one, with a higher stall speed. For that most part they can clean it out and see if the lock-up clutch is toast. Also replace the sprag and I think there a torrington beaaring in there too?

They should cut it open and clean it in a high temp washer to get all the old material out of it. Then inspect the blades/fins to make sure none are damaged. There is a torrington bearing in it that should be replaced. If they charge over $150 for all of this your better off just buying a new one. The 12" stock converters are cheap but you want to make sure you get the right one and not a Monte converter.
