Yes there are clutch packs in the torque converter. They are oil pressure controlled. See again, we are back at oil pressure. Taking away that pressure, and applying it at every stop is not good. You don't give the trans enough time to re-establish that said pressure, and then take off. Brakes are much cheaper, use them.

If the TC blows up, yes, it could grenade into the transmission, taking transmission with it. You will feel shuddering and whining when the TC is failing.
