How to tell if a torque convertor on 2002 is broke

When I start the truck I dont hear noise but as it reaches operating temp it starts to make some light clunking noises. When I mated the eng and trans initially I didnt have the TC installed correctly. I fixed that but...It wont shift at all but I assume that is the pump, valve or solenoid. How can I know the TC is broke? Eng is 3.0 flex Trans is 5R44E

You can't break the torque converter by mis-installing it, or the solenoids, you can only break the pump, which is, unfortunately, a major thing to replace on an automatic
If pump is broken vehicle will not move, period, in either direction

thank you, I thought as much bit didnt want just start replacing stuff. One more question, does this pump have a pressure valve in it? Ive seen videos that show it but the diagram from ford doesnt show it there.

???

Google: 5r55e pressure regulator

This is for "line pressure"
EPC is for valve body pressure

For sure not your problem, either can "delay" engagement, but can't prevent engagement
