"he 5th gear. Lockout occurs at 48 MPH at a mild acceleration."

Not sure what tranny you are talking about but the AW70L and AW71L have 3 gears plus OD plus the torque converter lock up. 4 gears if you will plus the lock up.

"By all means, check the transmission label to make sure you have a lockout tranny or better watch the tach drop at 48MPH."

It is dropping but it does not seem to stay in lock-up.

"I don't think acceleration too different from the 240."

The final drive gearing is significantly different (3.73? vs 4.10) than the 1990 DL Sedan with an AW70. The CD and weight are also different (CD is lower, weight is about 220#'s higher). All things considered, I have no idea what the RPM's at 65 in OD with lock-up engaged should be. It is not about acceleration...this is one of the quicker NA 7/940's I have driven.
