SmoothSteve3 Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 Hey guys- On the 3.1 MPFI's, is there a rev. limitor at 6000 RPM when in drive? I know that there is a 4000 RPM limitor when in Park.....but what about drive? I ask because I dont have a tach in my 1990 Chevy Lumina, and I've never driven a stick, so i have no clue what certain rpms sound like. thanks!

Bolt_Crank Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 I'm sure on the redline of the auto 3.1, but I think it's at like 5500 - 6000 or so, yeah.... Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 that's factory rev limiter in drive? :shock: I need to brush up on my 3.1 info.... Quote
Robby1870 Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 that's factory rev limiter in drive? :shock: I need to brush up on my 3.1 info.... Well the redline on the factory tach is at 6000, and yellow at 5500. Mine shifts around 5400, I have heard of others that shift at 5800 at WOT Robby Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 damn my brothers car for not having a tach! lol Quote

Well the redline on the factory tach is at 6000, and yellow at 5500. Mine shifts around 5400, I have heard of others that shift at 5800 at WOT Robby mine has different moods. itll shift anywhere between 5500-6000. i also notice while in neutral and moving the car revs over the 4k limiter, and i also discovered the limiter in drive when i got a little air off an oddly shaped road :oops: Quote
Robby1870 Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 Everytime at WOT mine shifts at 5400, but it doesnt matter, it doesnt hadly make power there anyway Robby Quote
brian89gp Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 Automatic transmission shift points and the rev limiter are 2 different things. Quote
Robby1870 Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 Yeah, I know, I was commenting how mine shifts 5400 and others I have talked to shift at like 5800 at WOT, I was mainly wondering why there descrepenies in shift points. Robby Quote
brian89gp Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 Because you transmission shifts based on vacuum which leaves some room for descripency's. Quote
Heza Posted September 14, 2003 Report Posted September 14, 2003 my car (3100) shifts at around 5400. however, when i slam the gas on a left turn and my car flips into first gear...it won't shift into second...instead, it limits itself. Quote
dkorinko Posted September 14, 2003 Report Posted September 14, 2003 Jeff may be the only guy who knows why my car does this because he use to work with mike g a lot. I dont know where the hell the shift points are in my car, i was in the car with my buddy (the guy who had it before me) and he slammed it in first gear, the rpm was sailing over 6000rpm when i told him to let off...I have never done it because the info i have obtained on this motor is that high revs kill it, so i have no idea where my shift points are????
