This is my first post here and I owned the car for about a year and change. I never thought about the workings of a transmission so I have this for you. I know the order is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, then torque converter. When I am on the highway doing highway speed, the transmission is locked, which is the way it is supposed to be. A tap of the pedal disengages the converter. When I get to high speeds like 70MPH, or more, it seems like I no longer have the converter and instead have the regular gear. I always felt the torque converter was no longer necessary at that speed. When I slow down to normal speeds, the converter is activated. Is this the way it works? I would like to know how it works. I do not know much about the mechanics of the transmission. Any information would be appreciated. I apoligize if this was discussed before
My car is a 99 Ford Taurus SE with Duratec and AX4N. I would probably have to change my handle if I get a different car.
