Is it normal when I rev in neutral to 6k-8k rpm (redline) and it drops back to 5k rpm.

 

yes its a rev limiter, if it kept redlining the engine will blow! kaboom!

 

I can't rev higher than 5k in neutral. how can yours rev to 8k??

 

x2 and why in the world are you trying to rev that high anyway?

 

you sure youre not thinking of Park? im not positive but i believe mine will rev to redline in neutral.

i know my accord will for sure

 

Coz then you drop it in gear and zoom-zoom.

 

With our trannies, it's more like clunk-clunk-sputter-swear

 

if we had a mechanical interaction betwewen the shift lever and the trans- maybe
BUT WE DONT
Its all electronic- when you move the shifter it clicks a small selenoid to talk to the computer and request a shift

yes the rev limiter is set lower in park and N for a safety reason-- to the engine!
Stop doing that!

 

:shakehead

 

 

You have an acura not a viper.

 

 

Busa Busa!

My civic revs to 9k

doesn't gain shit up there though.
