Tell your mechanic to stfu because he doesn't know what he's talking about, most guys that do 5spd swaps end up putting in a 5spd ECU so they don't have a CEL, and their cars definately go past 3000rpm.

sit in my car and see if it rev's past 3k....auto ecu...manual feels exactly the same, but has no CEL's....i'm gonna get my manual ECU reprogrammed by TS, thats why it's not in the car.
I went to autozone to do a CEL check with my auto ECU just for fun...the guy saw 12 codes for Auto tranny related failures...he said "you gotta check your tranny, man"..I said..."really? drives fine to me.."
