Did the 940 turbo ever come with an AW-72 lockup auto trans? NMI 900

I was under the impression my 93 940 Turbo does have an AW71L.

Can this be verified by driving it? I'm thinking that:

- with most automatic transmissions, if you're cruising on the highway, and you blip the accelerator pedal a little, you will see rpms jump more than what your immediate speed increase is - ie. there is some slippage

- with lockup torque convertors, if you do the same, you won't get this rpm jump - there is no slippage. It will react just like a manual transmission where engine rotations are locked to wheel rotations (I used to use this as a clutch slippage test).

I know on my 940 Turbo, I don't get slippage with this test.
