TCC lock: 26~28
4th OD: 41

I can drive around at 35 MPH with the TCC locked at 1550 RPM.
I wish the 94 was this way, I probably might have considered keeping it. Unfortunately, the '94 wouldn't TCC lock until after it hit like 48mph and was already in OD, and it would kick out at the slightest indication that you were coming off the accelerator, it seemed.

My Father drives Granny, now, and he can hold high gear at ~1600RPM @45MPH, though. 60MPH puts 'er up around 2000.
