The most I've spent on a torque converter is $500 for a low stall single disc. Non lock ups can be had for less. I've had both my transmissions done over the last few years, the 92 twice. The reason why twice is the 1st shop cheaped out and the transmission only lasted about 35K miles.The latest 01 and 92 rebuilds where heavy duty towing transmissions. No billit shafts or triple disc converters. Just heavy duty quality parts and a few less expensive upgrades.
Shift kits come with a variety of parts, some more like the Transgo and some less like Solex. However, if you don't stop the hydraulic leaks in the valve body components you won't accomplish anything. If your not going to replace bands and clutches, at least pay detailed attention to the hydraulic system.
RIP 91.5 W250 5 speed. The great experiment.
