Why is there a metal ring on the out side of the torque converter shaft on a Chevy turbo 350 transmission?

If you are talking about the splined ring around the input shaft, it's for the torque converter stator. The stator is like a second set of fan blades inside the converter that redirect fluid to the blades that turn the input shaft. It greatly increases the efficiency of the torque converter, which is actually a fluid coupling. In order to do it's job, the stator must be held stationary, that's what the splined ring is for. Hope that makes sense. It's not easy to explain.

check your fluid, metal shavings could indicate your torque converter is grinding and about to fail, or check that your fluid level is even topped up! (look for leaks) anything else would require removal of the transmission to inspect and diagnose best of luck -level 1 mechanic
How do you tell if your transmission is out or if its the torque converter?
Usually the tranny will go first, but it really doesn't matter. Take it to a shop that specializes in tranmissions, or if you want to experience the pain of replacing it yourself, take it out and haul it to a reputable transmission rebuild shop. Either way, they will tell you to replace the torque converter as a wise precaution even if it's not the problem. As there is no way to clean out a torque converter, any muck or metal shavings left in it will just get into your newly rebuilt tranny and ruin it fast. So count on a new converter no matter what. Also, if you replace it yourself, be sure to fill the new converter with fluid before assembly and flush out the cooling lines before hooking them up. One last thing, be sure to spin the converter when you push it into the tranny. You should feel it go in steps, about 3 or 4. If you don't get it in all the way, the converter will shatter the front pump assembly when you tighten the tranny to the engine. Then you'll have to take it back out and get it repaired, and it WON'T be under warrranty.

Your transmission on your 94 grand am gt wont go into gear at all and there is no metal chunks at all in the transmission pan what is the problem?
The first thing to check would be the obvious things such as the linkage and shifter assembly. If all is well, direct your attention towards the Valve body / pump in the transmission which is accessable by removing the side cover. Another common problem is the torque converter strips out where it splines into the pump. If you are not qualified to work on the transmission, i would advise taking it to a professional.
