the lock up is your four gear overdrive, did it have overdrive or did stay in third gear.
your RPM's should have been close to 15-18 RPM's for 60 MPH if it was higher fourth gear was not locking in if it wasn't higher than it was locking in. hope this will help.

quite honestly, the easiest way to check if your TC is locking up is while driving in overdrive at around 55 to 60, lightly press the brake with your other foot while still on the gas. Just press the brake hard enough to make your brake lights come on, you should hear/feel the rpm's increase when your TC unlocks.
