You reached 125 MPH in 4th gear with a Civic EX ? We don't have the same car for sure.....LongGrain said:they all go to the same rpm...
umm, mph...i know 3rd goes to about 90 and 4th goes to 125, i dont really pay attention to 1st and second.

I believe the max RPM each gear can take is 200-500 rpm over your redline; that's when the rev limiter kicks in and prevents you from reving any higher to avoid engine damage. Max mph on each gear, I wouldn't knowseabeeunit87 said:on the ex manaul trans. how much can each gear take?? whats the max rpm each gear can take before u nead to shift? how many mph can it each take?
You sure you're going by mph? Cause 125 mph would be freaking crazy in 4th! (125 kmph = ~78 mph) The highest I've hit in fourth gear is 100 mph and that's almost at redline.LongGrain said:they all go to the same rpm...

Have you actually taken your car past the 8K mark and/or hit the limiter of 8.5K?King Bob said:This is actually explained in your user manual, if you have a manual transmission then you have something called a rev limiter if you want to see how high your car can rev just get in put it in 1st gear and go until you feel the power cuts out and feels like its pulsing. Tah puls is yor rev limiter stoping you from reving any higher. I don't recomed doing it often but doing it just to see how high you can rev wont kill your car. for example my car red lines at 8K but the rev limiter dosent kick in until 8.5k
Yeah, highest in 4th is around 100 mph because it just about hits 8k right there. And I've taken my car to 8.5k (accidentally while in 2nd gear, hehe ;; ) and I didn't hit the limiter...DuH-ReL said:You sure you're going by mph? Cause 125 mph would be freaking crazy in 4th!
