Climbing a long, steep grade at 65 MPH and roughly 3/4 throttle makes it surge. I do not know if the converter unlocks for that. If it does, I don't hear or feel it. I'm pretty sure it just grinds up in it in direct.

Rolling heavy into the throttle at 50 mph unlocks the converter and it surges the whole way on up to 80 MPH whether you keep the throttle steady or go ahead and floor it after you reach 60 MPH (flooring below 55 mph downshifts to low...don't do that). Again, I cannot tell if or when the converter locks at those speeds.


As far as I know, not unlocking at 3/4 throttle is normal. Do you have the throttle lever extension on the transmission?

I don't think this is surging related, just commenting on the transmission. Transmission problems (for fairly obvious reasons) often happen at a certain RPM, certain gear, certain temperature, etc. Since it happens the same in all possible states I think the transmission is fine.
