Follow-up. The Merc 7-speed auto locks up even in first gear. How about S4 Tip?
"Converter lockup engages even in first gear
Like its predecessor, the new seven-speed automatic transmission is equipped with a torque converter lockup clutch. Under a wide range of operating conditions the lockup clutch, located in the hydrodynamic torque converter, almost completely eliminates slip between the pump and turbine. Whenever appropriate, it creates a virtually rigid connection between the engine and the transmission shaft, thus preventing power losses. On the new Mercedes-Benz 7G-TRONIC, converter lockup engages even in first gear, rather than only in the higher gears as on conventional automatic transmissions.
The lockup clutch engages with a degree of controlled slippage, which makes a further contribution to smoothness."
