Ok, so you are saying your 3rd gear runs from around 70 all the way up to 135? I'm calling BS. Not saying u didn't hit 135, but u didn't do it in 3rd gear. Whether u shift up or not, at WOT, the tranny will shift anyway. Leave it in L and floor it. It won't stay there. Same goes for 3rd. It goes on into O/D. O/D doesn't really screw us. It's just high gear. It's the converter lockup that really kills it. Drops the RPM's too low to catch the powerband to save fuel economy and ur speed dreams are dead. U can eliminate the lockup tho. I said all this in another post tho somewhere. :thumbsup
