Well, after that last post I'm a little unsure. If the TCC was activated, and the torque convertor locked and the car was stopped, then the motor would have to be stalled, since everything's connected, unless his torque convertor was bad and slipping. I don't think it would feel normal though. From what it sounds like, at an idle, it runs fine, but when he starts, he's starting in a higher gear than first. OP: is this true?
