A mechanic just looked at my car and failed to find anything wrong with it, he said something about the Lock box searching for a gear for the torque converter and said it was normal in these cars...???? any ideas?

does it feel jearky at around 60 mph after 5th kicks in?.......if so at that speed the engines low rpms cause miss fires and losses of voltage to show up more easily...try the plugs and wires...it shouldnt be more than 50 bucks...
