2019 Jetta Rline torque converter and dogbone

So the "dogbone" on my jetta has given up and is loose. I can't find the replacement, every single kit I come across is for the manual transmission and I have the 8 speed automatic transmission with the 1.4l engine. I figure that if the transmission is moving the torque converter might be damage or at least stressed enough to begin failing. so I've got 2 questions

Does anyone know the damn part number for the dogbone?

and

Can the torque converter be changed at home on a Saturday or is it something requiring special tools and the car lifted on the air to make it much easier?

Thanks in advance!!!
