I EOC (engine on) the Altima all the time, even at 70 MPH shifting back into drive is a non event. The torque converter does not lock up until you give it some gas. It takes about two seconds for it to re-engage the "gears" (CVT). I have shifted back into drive as high as 80 MPH and even at that speed the RPM after re-engagement is only around 2000.
