ok gang, ive got a 93tt j spec,--on the motorway in overdrive off,when the speed reaches about 80kph the revs drop even though ime in top gear, am i right in thinking this is the t/converter locking up getting ready for cruise mode because i cant remember this happing on my past zeds,which were a 90 and a 91, the rpm only drop about 300--400 and the box seems fine in all other speed rangers

don't no about the locking up bit mate, but mine does the same. think it's normal

Thats what it is. The lock up of the torque converter makes it feel like another gearchange. So around 2700rpm 80mph. When my last auto box was on the way out the lock up stopped engaging about a month before it totally expired. You can get it to engage at just over 40mph hot sometimes with a very light throttle
