[Shotimes] tranny troubles

[Ryan M. Dudek]

Sounds to me like the transmission fluid is just too cold to allow for torque converter lockup.  The fluid has to be up to temp (I'm sure someone will fill in the details) before the converter will fully lock dropping the rpm back to "normal."  I know on my 98, when fully cold at 75mph the car is turning over 3k rpm.

         93 atx with 115k transmisson never rebuilt and fluid never
changed.  
Driving the highway to school i sometimes don't have my last gear so the
car 
will cruise at 70 mph at about 3k rpm.  Does this fall under the faq about 

4th gear not working.  This only seems to happen when the car is cold but 
with cold in the northeast  the tranny is taking longer to warm up but it 
will shift into the last gear eventually.  How many gears does the atx
have 
anyway......4 with overdrive.
