Default 95LS torque converter question

I think my torque converter is starting to go. I have 176k miles on the car. I am the second owner. When I come to a stop a vibration can be felt coming thru the pedal and heard. I thought is was the brakes at first but now I am not so sure. What are your thoughts?

broken tranny and possibly motor mounts.

blown TC would be felt with slipping.

It doesn't do it all the time but I will have to check it out.
I will get under it this weekend for a visual of the mounts.
Cound be the tranny.

It does is when slowing to a stop from D. Today it did it in the morning, but after driving for awhile..all was good.
It's done this in the past but seems to be getting worse.
