Torque converter lockup explanation video

A lot of people have been asking what torque converter lockup does and asking how they can tell if their car is acting normal so I made this (low quality) video. Click here


Enjoy, post up questions and comments.

Edit: forgot to mention, the video got cut short and I was about to say will not engage 4th gear before it cut off
