45 mph is about where the tc locks up its a fine line the tc lock up swith basically allows you to lock the converter when you want to

So the reving at 45 to 50 is more a lock up thing? Not a major issue? Now I just keep the o/d off button pushed until I hit over 50 then it doesn't do it's odd downshift rev.
