    Hey guys, I have a vt v6 3.8! Sometimes when I put my foot right down the revs will get stuck at 5 thousand untill I release the accelerator. Why is this? also the speedo just sits at the speed it was doing.

    Thanks

    Can you hear the revs changing? But the needle just sits on 5 grand?

    5 grand is pretty high in revs, could check your throttle body (clean it) make sure your accelerator cable isnt gettign stuck or some thing, runa diagnostics see if any tps is playing up, i dunno, few suggestions, other then that, dont rev past 5 grand and u wont have the prob :p

    You're transmission needs attention. Slip on in to the nearest trans shop and get it looked at. :thumbsup:
