Default Can you explain TC Question

Can anyone tell me....if you have a TC with a stall speed of say 3000 rpm. than can you tell me when your in top gear doing 65 mph and only doing 2500 rpm you have not reached the stall speed of the TC. can someone tell me how this works. i can understand when going through the gears you reach the stall speed, what about the open road, thanks for any input :crazy:

The torque converter clutch (TCC) is commanded to lockup when appropriate below stall speeds.

just what tells the TC to lock up is this a mech thing or a design thing and if you step on the gas does it unlock and lock back up at stall speed , is the stall speed the lock up speed under normal driving, can it lock up higher than stall speed.. :crazy:
