the ecu trips a solinoid at a certian speed that makes a clutch in the torque converter lock solid for better economy at cruise.

mate i was offered a 5sp buy a guy who rekons he brought it as a 5 speed.
Moving the shift it was a four speed just like the rest, the reason he thought it was a 5 speed is the shift kit and slightly higher then standard stall converter.
He got real shitty when it was pointed out to him so went and check and i was right which pissed him of more as i would not pay as much for a 4spd that had been flogged.
So you are not alone.
