I need to know just how locked up the AW4 torque converter lock up is when it is working properly?
Is it a one way lock up?
In other words if you let off the gas, does the Jeep drivetrain turn the engine and keep the engine rpms elevated (two way lock up), like with a manual transmission, or does it slip and let the engine slow down even while the TC is still in the locked mode?
I have a TC lock up dash light on mine now so I can see when solenoid #3 is getting voltage to lock up the torque converter.
With mild acceleration mine seems to lock up, but at steady state cruise it seems to slip a little and during deceleration it is obviously slipping, but my lock up light is still on until I hit the brakes, or until the vehicle speed drops under 25 mph, or until the engine rpm drops to 700 rpm.
By slipping I don't mean the torque converter is bad, I mean it is not totally locked in a direct drive mode.
