Or would that be my transmission? I just got my car back from getting the 1-2 shift and brake tsb's, and the coolant rrt (preventive maint. maybe?) and I wanted to be sure the tcm flash worked. It seemed to but I'm not sure if it's my brain tricking me or if the shifts are actually better.
I tried to test it out by putting the car in AS but I'm not familiar with how far I can take each gear. From what I know about manuals it seems that I should be able to take each gear to redline but damn the car screams and I'm reluctant to experiment without being for sure on the matter. I've never been a big manual person even though that's all my father drives, mainly because I end up with a stiff back after every drive.
Could some knowledgeable person educate me on gear selection and rpm ranges, how to test my car, etc.? Or at least point me to a thread that explains it? Thanks.
BTW, would over-revving harm my engine, transmission, or both?
