i think they all do it around that speed if you even slightly vary the thottle. lock up speed is around 40-45 mph under light thottle applications so if it sees a slight drop in speed it will unlock the tc

in traffic at 40-45 ya probably want to lock out the od. od l/u demands a LOT of oil, (think i read over 8gpm) direct l/u is almost 1/2 of that, slow turning pump cant hardly keep up so lots of heat. heat is the biggest killer.
