Revs to high on interstate, pnp switch. 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be VIRUSX33 on  Sun Jul 24 12:27 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Well i have just purchased this 93 850 and i do alot of interstate driving. My question is about engine speeds at high mph. For example at 80 or so i am at around 3000 rpm. Is my overdrive not working or something? I mean on roadtrips i cruise at 95 or so lol and i cant imagine the rpm then. I bought this car in order to save money on gas (my other car is an 03 ford cobra and i get about 14 mpg with my driving.) Thank you all for your help. by the way i am having the pnp switch problem, not shifting and staying in 3rd gear, could that be a reason.(I have counted the gears and i am in 4th when on the interstate not 3rd) also where can i get a good pnp switch? Thanks again.
