Question 2002 xterra codes and does

At 113,000 my check engine light came on. 2 mechanics checked and said it was the knock sensors and torque converter codes. I noticed that when I got on the highway the car accelerated but at 60 mph held back a few minutes then shifted upward without any thumps, bumps,wining, etc. The knock sensors were replaced and the light went out. Within an hour the light came back on. Went back to mechanic who told me this time it was only the torque converter code. He sent me to a transmission place. I am now told that the torque converter is burnt out and I need a new transmission. On the way home I noticed, for the first time, a slight thump when I first started the car. By the way, the light went out. How do I know if I truly need a new transmission? Has anyone had these issues. I did notice when the light first came on it was after I filled my tank. Since then, every time I fill my tank I do not hear the air sound when I open my gas cap. Is any of this related?
