Default 94 C1500 Silverado shuts down

Hello everyone! I'm Mike, and I just bought a 94 Silverado a week ago. It's been good until a couple days ago. Bad things started happening. While accelerating trying getting on the interstate (twice) while doing around 50 mph, the engine 'disconnected' from the transmission and revved like it was in neutral. Then, yesterday it started to jerk and jolt itself into second gear. Now, it shuts immediately off when I put it into any forward or reverse gear. It did it first at an intersection. I pushed it to where it was going down hill, started it, and put it in drive while rolling and it got me home. Any solutions? Hopefully, I can get an absolute so I don't have to throw parts at it. I suspect the torque converter, but I'd like a hard confirmation on that. I've put 750 miles on it in 7 days. Thanks! Mike.

Might be the transmission, I doubt Torque converter.

A week ago?

Take it right back where you bought it and tell 'em to repair it or give your money back.

I pulled the codes, which were 33 and 69. 33 indicates the mass air flow sensor, and 69 says torque converter clutch solenoid. I think I'll go with my first thought and change the TCC(s). Just have to see how many are there. Any more thoughts?
