Overdrive engagement
right now it goes into overdrive at about 55mph light throttle with TCC lockup. Will adjusting my kickdown make it go in sooner. Seems like everyone else'* goes in at about 48-50mph. I'm gonna check this out in the morning and see if it makes a difference.

It'* not off by much. Like 1993 SLE mentioned, there are varying inputs and factors that will make it shift and lock.
Engine temp
Load

Throttle
Tons of stuff

Just my $0.02, but just be glad it even goes into overdrive, regardless of the speed it engages at. After a few hundred dollars, mine finally will engage and hold full lockup. And that'* AFTER spending $375 on a used transmission.
