Transmission problem??
Recently I have noticed my truck seems to have an "extra" shift. I'm sure it's the torque convertor lockup but it's really noticeable, like I have a 5 speed automatic. Even with the overdrive off it still shifts 4 times. I have been having performance problems at the track(slower ET's) and wonder if this is the problem. Any ideas or is it just me 
Gregg, help

I don't think it's the problem, for what it's worth. When the intermediate clutch starts to get almost dead, you'll see some lower trap speeds and that's what usually happens. The converter lockup can be real noticable at WOT. It will lock up on both he 2-3 and the 3-4 shifts, depending on how you drive it, the weather, barometer and who knows what if you have a chip.
