Default A4 Newb Question

98 A4 Z28, stock stall, 3.73s,

At 70mph im at 2400 rpms...

I just read another thread about lockup on a converter not working, and I was wondering if the rpms are where they should be?

well you can feel your converter lock up at 45mph..
if u are slowly accelerating and u are already in 4th gear by 45 mph or around there u will feel it lock and the rpms will drop almost feels like another gear..
