New NX, 1 month old, 1500 km inspection booked for next week. Last weekend was the first chance to do a >200k highway trip. I understand that the auto has a lockout for the torque convertor - does anyone know what speed or otherwise that it operates? Reason for asking - at steady 100 km/h on the flat - the slightest increase in accelerator pressure (for a slight uphill stretch) causes the revs to increase noticeably, reverting to previous reading when the road levels out. If the TC is locked out, how can this happen? Same when using cruise control. Same when transmission is in manual mode (5th gear) so it can't downshift.
Could it be that lockout is releasing too easily? It is rather annoying when on cruise control to have the engine noise change every time there is a slight rise in the road.
Previous vehicle 2001 Prado - lockup activated over 80 km/h and stayed until speed went back below 80.
