In fact, I found an article about how on some auto transmissions, it's actually possible to perform this torque converter lock-up yourself, at almost any RPM you want, overriding the ECU settings.

But now, what I'm trying to figure out is why this happened. Why did the ECU change the torque converter lock-up speed?
