I remember reading somewhere that the direct drive kicks off once the car hits 11mph, and goes back into torque converter. Am I making stuff up here?
You are correct. The governor pressure is supposed to be low enough at that speed the DD can release. There is a service article on checking the governor for reasons DD clutch disengagement might be delayed. Packard found if DD released much below that speed the engine was prone to stalling when the car was coming to a stop.
