Trans failure question...

Car is a 327 Chevelle, Powerglide trans, Stock Eliminator type of thing, car broke on the line, engine runs fine, inspected differential for ring and pinion failure, no problem there, I suspect planetary or input shaft breakage. Does that type of parts failure break the converter as well? Years ago I broke an engine about 400 feet out, broken rod, that damaged the converter due to the sudden lock up of the engine. That didn't happen this time. Engine sounds OK. I haven't dismantled anything yet.
