Harvey, I have a torque converter question. When I'm pulling my Tradewind
behind my F-150 with an automatic transmission and get on the gas, the
tachometer goes up faster than the speed. It seems like the torque converter
isn't locked up under those circumstances. So, my question is when does the
converter lock up? Under what conditions? Been a long time since I drove a
manual transmission but my poor memory thinks that in acceleration, the
speed was more proportional to engine RPM than I feel it is with the
automatic.
