Engine/Tranny Cutting Out at 3200RPM
I've got this posted in the TPI section too, but I thought I would see if I could get a response here too...
I'm really hoping someone can help me out on this one...I went to go do a dyno run today only to discover that the engine won't rev past aprox. 3200 RPM while in gear. It wasn't doing this 3 days ago so something has happened since then. It will rev all the way to the red line at 5500 RPM if the car is in neutral or park. But if it's in gear, as soon as the tach hits about 3200RPM it seems to be cutting in and out (kinda feels like it's hitting a rev limiter or something like that). I'm not sure if it's the engine or transmission that holding off. The car seems to idle fine, and when I rev it up high in neutral it revs up nice and smooth, not jumpy or anything.
Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.
