I hear people talking of redline at 5700 or 5800, however, my car is stock pcm/tranny and it will shift(if I floor it) at 6000 every time.....no matter what, also if i hold it in gear manually with it on the floor and shift at 5500, it will hold it out until 6000 and then shift, my rev limiter is a 6200 and will kick in if i dont shift at 6k, is this normal????

 

it should be 5700 or 5800 your tachometer could be off a little or the previous owner could have pushed up the limiter a little.

 

is there any way to find out what he did(i.e. anything to check for, loose screws on computer or anything)??? i was wondering if anything is done to it, becuase it seems to run better than my friends auto z's?

 

Rev limiter on the 96 is exactly 5886 RPM for the first gear and 5805 rpm for the rest.

Stock tachs are off by about 2-300 rpm on our cars, so it may seem as the limit is at 6200.

 

well then that sounds about right, also i meant that it shifts a 6, which makes perfect since according to your explanation, i was talking about the limiter kicking in at 6200, thanks
