^Exactly. I skip-shift my 5-speed m/t all the time so I conclude that a 3-speed would work just as well, and perhaps even more efficiently due to not having the extra spinning/meshing gearsets.

I have two vehicles equipped with 2-speed a/ts; they work well and I think would be awesome with lock-up converters.
