Car dieing additinal info.

We will see,  if it is in the torque convertor, I will agree that the
WOT applications did it, and I will buy the 3-clutch convertor next
time that is made to lockup at wot.

But still chevy was locking things stock at 95mph, and at the speeds I
am locking mine the difference in rpm between locked and unlocked is
pretty minimal and should not be overly stressing things (more than GM
was locking up things at WOT).  I have not heard of anyone on the
fourth-gen list loosing their TCC, and all of the A4's lock things at
WOT, so maybe GM changed something in the design to allow it, since
your tranny was built.
