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

Lockup is hydraulic/mechanical, not sure the mechanism but it is NOT electrically actuated. Fitment and outside appearance are same as the non-L. However the bell housing inside dimensions are slightly different. Either the normal converter won't fit in the L bell housing or vice versa. So make sure you get the right converter with the tranny.
It makes a difference with my 740. Drops the revs about 300 rpm when it engages. I think it'd result in substantial improvements in gas mileage with the turbo, but it'd make the car really sluggish on the highway below 60mph - until revs were up enough to make boost. There's enough lag as it is. AND, the turbos come with a higher stall speed converter than the NAs, so if you do this try and get the turbo-specific tranny from a 940, as I suspect that the locking converters would have different stall speeds for turbo than NA.
