2003 Camry Transmission

[jsousa54]

I have a new (4,000 miles) Camry LE automatic. I've recently noticed that at about 40 to 45 mph the torque converter seems to be locking up. Feels like downshifting. Anyone having this problem or is this normal.

According to service manual Camry should lock up the torque converter at about this speed (depends on the engine and particular conditions). It should feel like upshift, not downshift. Your RPM should drop a little when converter locks up. What engine do you have?
