Hi first time post here! 

I have a 2007 landcruiser v8 with the 5 speed auto.  I want to know 2 things

1 what speed should the converter lock up at ?

2 should the auto change down when going down a hill to give you some form of braking? Such as when I am doing around 80 then coast down a hill and touch the brake slightly my gears change down 1 gear so from 5 to 4th 

thanks in advance!

G'day Willyv, I can't help with the converter query but my 2003 V8 Sahara also changes down a gear same as you describe, I'm pretty confident it's normal and my Renault Master van also does the same thing, it would be engine braking to save having to ride the braked down hill.
