Default Replacing torque converter clutch solenoid

Hi,
My 2002 Montero 4WD vibrate when I'm going around 50mph and it stops as soon as I take off my foot off the gas paddle.
I showed it to my mechanic and his diagnostic is to replace the torque converter clutch solenoid.
Any thoughts on the diagnostic?
None of the local part stores (autozone, napa, oriely) got the part. Any idea on where to find the part?
Thanks.

Heres the part from rockauto, but I would see what the price is through the dealer as well.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.
The RockAuto link you provided is for the Torque Converter. I'm looking for the torque converter solenoid. Is that a part inside the Torque Converter?

Check your drive shaft U joints first, also disconnect rear drive shaft and engage 4x4 and drive on the freeway and see if vibration is still there.... Just another idea.

The most common reason for transmission shudder is using AFT that is not from Mitsubishi Motors. If you have not already done so, do a complete AFT exchange/flush (not a drain and fill).
