Default A4 Speed in Gears Vs Diff Gear

Hi,
By popular demand, here is the data for the available differentials. The full set of curves overlapped making it hard to read, so I split them into two plots.
This data assumes a locked torque converter, so be careful using it.
Does anybody have a math model of a converter?
Bye for now,
Steve :seeya
