Just curious, mine seems to be coming in a little high, it doesn'tshift until around 50mph. Our highway mileage is great, almost 18mpg, but our city is around 12. |

Around 51 or so And its the lock up COnverter you are feeling.. Its ussually stacked right on top of the 4th gear shift unless you are on it.. Kyle |

Its when the engine is locked up 1 to 1 with the rear. An old style torque converter used to slip pretty much non stop. Now an electrical signal to a solonoid closes a vent in the trans diverting the fluid to a clutch in the converter which in turn locks it like another shift.. Kyle |
