I don't have a super solid understanding of the guts of an auto. But I do know they are full of fluid, and even locked I imagine that stuff is spinning in the fluid. And friction has some exponential relation with speed. So it's not a big surprise that it holds it own at lower rpm but quickly dies past 6k. Depending on what the trans was originally from it is probably spinning faster than called for in the original design was intended (outside its design efficiency range).
