Automatic tranmission red lining

[t_rock]

hey guys,

i'm not sure if it was doing this before i installed my short ram intake. but when i punch it now, i notice the needle hit up to 7500 rpm. my cb7 is auto and just wanna know if this is normal for our cars? thanks.

no that is not normal. maybe your tach is off? what does it read when your at idle? should be alil below 1000, like 800-900

sittin at idle i'm around 700-800. my transmission seems to have no problems shifting when driving normally. now i was on the road today and watchin my tach. and was punching it every so often to see how it would react. this time around it didnt pass 7000 but shifted 6300-6400 that little area where the red starts. Thats ok right?

i recall the last time when it did hit past 7000 i was doing about 30 km/h then punched it pretty hard. this time around i dont think i punched it as hard and may have let up off the gas when it approached 6300 rpm. but even if i was to floor it when in motion it shouldn't hit 7500 rpm would it? i dont usually drive like that, but with a newly installed short ram i'm loving the sound. lol

6300-6500 is more normal yes. That is fine.

Only if you have an h22 under the hood, and have a h22 tcu

If you have an f22, it should not rev that high on the automatic trans, and is a sign that something is possibly wrong with your tcu and/or trans.

Normally it will shift right at the beginning of the redline, but will never actually go into redline, and in some gears like 3rd it might shift at 6k.
