gabeyd - I drive a gasser, and have the same hangup you do on the way the Torque Converter functions.

I want everything to work more like a manual transmission! If I let off on the gas, I expect the engine to start slowing things down. If I push in on the clutch pedal, I want everything to "freewheel".

But, we don't have those inputs in the automatics, do we? Given the way things are designed, I doubt if we'll ever get what we want.

And, thinking about how things work, it's probably an impossible design criteria.
