Is the torque converter lockup working? Test: steady speed above 45 MPH, gently tap the brake. If the RPM's jump up about 300, the converter was locked (and just unlocked).

I just changed the solenoid for this. Pulled it out and it did not work at all. I haven't gotten a light for it but I've only driven about 100 miles since I did this on Sunday.
