Hi all, recently in France the speed limit on N or D single carriageway roads has been reduced to 80 kph (50 mph).
This leads me to pose the following question : at what speeds does the torque converter 'lock-up' and does it only lock up in top - 5th - gear, or does it also lock up in 4th, 3rd etc and at what speeds.
I'm not sure the TC lock-up is working fully or correctly in my car, particularly during the long warm-up time.
So it seems like I often do not achieve lock-up due to either temperature and/or roadspeed.
Can anyone shed light on this topic please ???
Cheers
Dave
