Funny, I 'thought' I knew what locking out the gears is, but after reading this thread I'm more confused than enlightened.
In a word: Why?
"Locking out" simply means preventing the transmission from shifting into a particular gear. Nothing in this thread contradicts/confuses that.
Well, we have discussions about torque converter lockup and what is and is not an overdrive and automatic transmission programming and tow/haul use. None of which have anything to do with gear selection. So I'd say about half of the posts in this thread contradict or confuse the question! ;)
If the OP did not understand what it means to lock out a gear, they probably don't understand torque converters and overdrives and torque multiplication due to gearing and all of that. As such, this is a confusing thread!
