I think you should take it to a machanic, if its only going to 3500 rpm then dropping and your speedometer does not work you car is messed up

my 5th gear rev limiter is at like 5300 rpms
i'm hit my speed limiter before 5300 rpms in 5th gear, but when i put the clutch in and rev it, theres definatly a limiter
all other gears its at ~7200rpm

haha i definitely got screwed by my rev limiter. anyone kno if there is a limiter on 4th gear in a 98?

this one nite i kicked it with a gsr on the interstate. prolly a 70mph kick, i pulled about a car and a half, looked at my rpm (round 5000 by then time i looked), looked back at the gsr, now i was about 2 cars ahead, looked at my rpm again and thought, ok a little longer and then 5th gear, looked at the gsr again, and it was pullin up.

i looked again and my revs weren't climbing anymore, so i threw it into 5th before i got a good look at wut rpm i was at, im absolutely positive it was nowhere near redline. any suggestions???
