TC locking in third???
All signs point to my new 700r4 locking up in 3rd gear. It behaves exactly like the lock-up does in 4th, only in third. I even did the tap on the brakes test.

Anyone have a reason why that could happen?

I thought it only locked up in fourth.

Yes, it seems that you guys are right!

Did you see my other thread regarding a switch?
