what gears? My auto shifts at 6 when I get on it, i'm completely stock.

Get into 2nd gear, low rpms, then floor it...see if your tranny slips. If it does, take it to a tranny shop asap.

I dunno what it could be im 5spd but check ur tranny oil it might do that because of your tranny fluid.

You're car will not go in 6600+, unless you downshift.

I dunno, I've punched it really hard before, and I've gotten it past 6.5k, but that was on a really good jump. Usually I'll hit 6k when I floor it.

if its auto, under part throttle, could it be a failure of the TPS, so it takes forever to shift?

I heard something about "valve float" as a result of the engine being over-revved, is this correct?

might want to check your tranny out, as well as your engine
