I do not think it would be torque converter while the car is in park! sounds like a apex seal has broken but not for sure. I had the same thing happen to my 94 a few yrs ago and ended up replacing the motor.

ur idle fluctuate? Do you have 2 idle speeds, one in gear and another in N or P? If so, it maybe just be a vac leak in the LIM.
