4 speed with locking converter....

Have to get up over 50 mph for the converter to lock, right?

With cruise control on, mine will lock as low as 35mph with some inconsistency, 40mph always good.

Depends on how it's tuned.

Thumbs up

I had Sara (2001 Z28 A4) dyno tuned in 2003 after a rear end gear change (3.73:1), and a 3200 stall installed. The dyno tuner set the converter "lockup" @ 43 MPH.

My personal preference is set it up for no lock up 1-3 and lock up after the 4 the gear shift and north of 50 mph.
But as stated sounds like its been previously tuned.
