What you are probably noticing is the lock up converter disengaging. I have noticed that if you leave just a tiny bit of foot in the throttle, it will stay engaged.

Your saying the torque converter is still engaged, only the lock is disengaged when in neutral. If so, then i should still feel the car engine brake, or accelerate when i push the gas. It doesn't engine brake or accelerate when in neutral.
