if a torque converter locks does the transmission need to be replaced
What is your question?
In early July around the 12th my Nissan Altima started jerking forward and shut itself off at a stop sign. After researching the problem on the internet I found out about the Nissan issues with the CVT transmission. I drove the car home and parked it in the garage. When I took it in to be looked at the service guy told me the torque converter locked and I would need a new transmission to the tune of $4100. First question is does the whole transmission need to be replaced and if so what is a good estimate on where I should take it.

The answer I would give you is that it wouldn't be shocking to suggest the transmission assembly needs to be replaced based off your concern. Certainly, get a second opinion, but truth be told, it's likely going to need a replacement.
As far as an estimate, reach out to shops near you as posted first. You'll have the option of remanufactured from more than one source, or used.
