it's called converter lock-up folks. It can be disengaged.
u know when ur in OD and the rpm's drop, then drop again almost like it hits 5th? That is converter lock-up. It's for fuel economy, but def. not for performance. Most autos that race take the lock-up feature out or get a switch so they can control it.
