Torque Converter

Hey all, I've searched this forum and have been unable to find any information on this particular question: Is there any way to tell when your torque converter has locked up, other than by "seat of the pants" feel? I know that some people have installed lean burn indicators in their 90s civics and was wondering if there was any way to do such a thing with a tc on an automatic car. I know that my car has a locking TC, here's a direct quote from the owner's manual:


"Your Honda's transmission has four
forward speeds, and is electronically
controlled for smoother shifting. It
also has a "lock-up" torque converter
for better fuel economy. You may
feel what seems like another shift
when the converter locks."

That's all that it says about the TC in the entire manual. Any info would be appreciated.

As always, thanks a ton.
