Default A4 Lockup In OD

At what speed does your A4 lockup in OD at part throttle.

Mitch doesn't it depend on the converter?

It depends on your converter, gears, throttle position and your personal preference.
If your asking about a stock setting it depends on throttle position. The harder you press the pedal the later it locks. Roughly it locks in 4th at 42mph at 6% throttle pressure, to 50mph at 75% throttle pressure.

A friend who has tqc 3600 has it lock up only in OD. The reason is that the "unlocking" in the lower gears was driving him nuts - apparently very unpleasant, so it locks up only in OD. Any thouhgts on this rather untechnical explanation.?

You can program it to lock up in lower gears with HP Tuners

It can be programmed to lock in any gear at any throttle position with LS1 edit.

I've done the same thing. It's a PITA having it lock and unlock in 3rd with gears and a converter.
Mitch, lockup can be programmed for lower gears, but stock it is not. I don't think it would be desireable.

That's me.The stock TC only locks up in 3rd and O.D.. But as you have pointed out with gears and a high stall TC it is a real pain in heavy traffic.I am sure that with a little time and effort you could make it work in 3rd.But I see no reason to do this since my car drives so well with locup in OD only.I love the way it drives now, wouldn't change it for the world.
