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

Obviously, the sure test for the "L" transmissions is to get under there and look at the ID plate, as mentioned by Spook. (Mine reads "03-71L"). Another way is to accelerate fairly moderately, and, at about 2300RPM in 4th/OD you'll feel a slight jerk like a gear change, and RPM's will drop 2-300.

One poster here related a story of swapping an AW-71L into his turbo and having it fail while accelerating strongly, locked up in 4th. It was a used trans, however. See the URL posted in another message here.

On mine, once it's engaged there's no unlocking the converter clutch with the gas pedal, until you've pressed it far enough to cause the trans to downshift out of 4th. With a turbo car this would put a lot of stress on the little clutch.
