I'm guessing that you shifted into 3rd gear. Remember, even manually shifting, you're only blocking out the next gear. In 1, you're only in gear 1 until you hit the rev limiter. In 2, you go up to 2nd gear, but if you are accelerating hard, it will shift back into 1st gear. In 3, you go up to 3rd gear if speed permits (40 does permit this), but, as I said, if you're accelerating harder than normal, perhaps while going up a hill, it will downshift back to 2nd gear, until the computer decides to put it back into 3rd. I'm guessing you just felt the car upshift to 3rd.
Thank you. That's what I was trying to say.

i dont know where you think i said i was doing 40 at 3200 in first.
40 was just a loose guess i didnt state it as hard fact. i wasnt really looking at the speedo.
i just noticed it shifted 3 times when i had it in '3'.

also i know about the tranny temp thing. the car was at normal operating temp and wouldnt shift into 4th at normal speed yesterday because it was cold as icy hell.

it was just fine today. neg 8 and ran like a pro.
the thing sounds like a dragon beast when its that cold out.

OK, I failed Aircare, so I added MethylHydrate and since I have very little freeway driving available here I've been driving in 2nd gear all around town. in 2nd, at 3500 rpms I'm doing about 45. so if you say the rpms dropped to about 3200 @40mph, then I would guess you were in 1st.

Also, as for TC lockup in 3rd, I recall that this was allowed, but only when you select 3rd, as the trany would obviously shift to 4th before a TC lockup. So based on a bunch of guesses, when you leveled out you obviously let off on the gas, and perhaps the TC did lockup in 3rd, IF my rumour is correct. Oh, and I can confirm that TC lockup only happens if you are doing at least 50mph(+/-3mph)

Were you going over 50? I'll guess yes.

If all these are a yes, then things are good, except your bumber
I was referring to this post.

I agree, I was explaining it poorly.
I think I must have meant 2nd. cause your right, 1st at 3200 is not 40mph.
