GOOD MORNING

I AM RUNNING INTO PROBLEM WITH MY 700R4. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I AM RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD IN OVERDRIVE I'M GETS A VIOLENT SHAKE IN MID THROTTLE. YOU GOT TO BE INTO THE THROTTLE OR APPLY LITTLE THROTTLE FOR IT TO NOT BE THERE. ALSO IT IS STARTING TO FEEL A LITTLE SLUGGISH. I WENT AS FAR A DISCONNECTING THE TCC LOCK-UP AT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VIBRATION STOPPED AND I REGAINED SOME POWER BACK. ANY IDEAS WHAT IT MAY BE? TORQUE CONVERTER OR PUMP?

You can't even be sure it's a transmission issue at all. Many engine performance issues are mistaken for transmission issue and visa-verse. If it is the transmission I would tend to blame the torque converter.

THE THING THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT WHEN I DISCONNECT THE TCC LOCK-UP THE SHUDDER/VIBRATION IS NOT THERE IN ANY OF THE ACCERATOR POSITIONS. PLEASE ADVISE.

That doesn't prove much. You removed both the low RPM load and the converter so the issue could still be either.
