I don't know the reason, but that same thing happens to me too. I think that the tranny fluid needs to warm up. That's why the rpm's run a little high, say around 50 mph (about 3,000 rpm). After the car warms up, does the needle or tranny still do that?

Nope it seems to be fine after warming up, only it seems to take awhile to warm up. it has not done it in a little while though, but it'll probably do it tommorrow since i said that,lol.
