2003 Lincoln Town Car - after shifting to third gear and slowly accelerating, betwee 35 and 40 I can feel a little either "miss" or ********" or "slipping", what would be the most logical problem?

So, if we have two 2003 Lincoln Towne cars and one has issues with the Torque Converter and the other doesn't - would you say that if we fix the one with a new torque converter, is it less likely, more likely or that the fixed one will have other transmission problems in the near future?
