Hi all,has anyone noticed that their Au3 xr8 picks up another gear at just over 200kms knowing that it had already changed from 3rd to drive at about 160km, I thought they were a 4 speed with no overdrive.

More then likely the torque converter locking up.
Under normal driving it usally locks up around 80kph. |
