How many gears does a 700r4 have?

I was reading some of the threads here and came across a few in which one person stated that a 700r4 does not have 4 individual gears, rather it has 3 then 4th gear is actually when the TC locks up. I am quite sure I can feel one more 3rd shift in there when my car is in OD and then a lock up. When you pass a car on the highway, if you dont push the pedal too hard you can feel the TC unlock, then at a constant speed it locks up again.

It has 4 speeds; 3rd is direct, 4th is OD; and of course the clutch, which comes on in 3rd and 4th only.

It's amazing the drivel you can get victimized with on the Internet..... "I saw it on the Internet, it must be true"

It has 4 foward gears and one reverse. The converter locking up is NOT a gear.
