hi dares.
yep, super sure. that is what i have thought initially so I did make sure by downshift to 3rd manually and the car instantly downshift which is the sign that i was in 4th gear before. then rpm was holding at 4k-4.5k, if it was in second gear, by that time it will upshift dy but it didnt. So i am sure it was in 3rd gear
after that i shift to D, then what i described happened. 4k -> 3k -> 2.5k
myvi got lock up torque converter? hm.. i searched around only saw ppl mention it does not have lock up feature
I have driven someone's myvi before. Myvi/toyota, like all 4-speed auto gearbox, have lock up torque converter. For myvi, it wil trigger the lock up at 65km/h (thats why it drops to around 2.5k) and will briefly disengage if you release your throttle above 65km/h or drop below 65. yep, super sure. that is what i have thought initially so I did make sure by downshift to 3rd manually and the car instantly downshift which is the sign that i was in 4th gear before. then rpm was holding at 4k-4.5k, if it was in second gear, by that time it will upshift dy but it didnt.

If you turn off your OD it will only stay in 3rd and will not go into 4th and will not activate the lock up, even above 65km/h.
It might had downshift into 2nd when you press your accelerator too hard while it was in 3rd, causing it to violently jump the rpm to 4k and hold into 2nd gear for a while. Yes, all cars detect your throttle/accelerator position together with road speed, and some are smarter by detecting your car gradient (uphill/downhill) , to determine the best gear to be in.
