89 Celica Issue

Hey all,
Installed the stereo into the Celica yesterday, nothing too powerful, just basic H/U and 6*9's, so its not a power drain issue. Everything in, seemed to go fine (install #19 clocked up, so it wasn't like a first timers install). Put her back together, sounded nice. Drove off, accelerator seemed to not react properly. Figured, eh, maybe its a bit cold. Went to turn onto a main road. Barely moved. Thought nup, this isn't right. Was not getting any power to it for the first few seconds, then once it was up to revs it was a bit better but by no means perfect, wasn't changing gears where it should be either.
Took it back, pulled it all back apart and checked wiring etc etce tce, all seemed fine. Removed h/u from the loom, no better, removed fuses for engine computer thinggy which supposedly resets it if its got bad data in it, cleaned and re-seated battery terminals and contacts, nothing seemed to help. Shorted the diag. terminals and checked engine codes, blinking fine, no issues there it appears.
Unless there was some major coincidence and something broke yesterday, I'm shit outta ideas.
Had NRMA out to have a look at it, he reckons its most likely the torque converter. Was pulling 3000 RPM at one stage and barely moving, at other times it was doing 2500 and 70. Appeared to be making the power, just couldn't transfer it to the wheels.
If anyone has ANY thoughts as to what may be the casue if you could lemme know it'd be hugely appreciated.
TIA!
Craig
