Stop using your automatic like a manual!

Unless you want to buy another tranny... plus your car might be electronically limited to 180km... or it may just not have power to past that :?:

Yep sounds like limiter. Get ah japanese ECU :mrgreen:

mayinde · Postby **mayinde** » August 14th, 2007, 7:23 am

i don't think its ah limiter cause for the first 3 gears it goes to about 8k rpms but the 4 just goes to about 4k rpm and no i don't use it like ah manual i just leave it in D3 or D4. But if it is the ecu where can i get ah proper ecu or ah gear box

Ammm ok so whats the problem..

Thats how it supposed to work..Thats how all honda transmissions work. Fourth gear is not the " sport " gear, it's 3rd or D3 in your case..

4th is what they call in NISSAN terms overdrive, It's a cruising gear.It was not designed for you to run out the speedo with.

... But amm yuh need to stop driving the car like a manual eh.. Trust me you ent gonna like the price of a clutch kit for your Transmission.

Go easy on D3

Or yuh could jus buy a Gearbox... Ahhhhh did i jus say that :!:

you are not running out of 'rpm' meng... you are running into a speed cut that does not allow you to pass a particular speed in KPH or MPH. That fact that you can't go past 4k in the top gear is because the ecu is not letting the car create enough power to get past 180k.

I remember the first time I hit a speed cut with my sohc 5 spd.... same deal... around 5000rpm in 5th gear, clipping 120mph.... I hit a brick wall... no more power... and the Grand Prix just sailed on by... :lol:

ah see like is yuh first post, like yuh now get the car to seeing you ain't know how yuh car does wuk. Relax a lil bit, then look to piggy back yuh speed limiter. Good move in upgrading yuh brakes. I yet to do this. And yuh see what them fellas saying, try and listen to then, stop yuh it as if yuh had a tranny, unless yuh rich. In that case fix up.
