What happens to my car when I go over 2000 rpm?
Once it gets above 2000 RPM (or so, it varies with which gear I’m in) the RPMs drop sharply as the car tries to stall. It idles just fine as far as I can tell, or at least as well as it always has.
Why does my transmission rpm keep climbing up?
It seems that the gears are slipping and causing the rpm’s to climb up. Check the transmission fluid and make sure that it’s full and red in color. Very dark red or black transmission fluid is an indication that the transmission is burning the fluid for getting too hot from either overloading or slipping gears.
What causes the gears to slip in a car?
Low transmission fluid will cause the transmission to slip the gears. If the fluid is good and the transmission has been serviced before, then the clutches inside the transmission are slipping and it will need either rebuilt or replaced.
Is it bad to drive slow in 4th or 5th gear?
In a lower gear, relative torque is increased and you will gain your higher speed faster with the same (or less) amount of throttle input, which means you can upshift your transmission and get your RPMs down again. Would it wear out the engine or transmission faster?

When does the RPM go back to normal?
The RPM will usually go back to normal as you accelerate the vehicle, but will increase again after you stop. This is definitely not a normal situation. If you are experiencing a rough idle or your RPM is running high, then there are a variety of reasons for why this could be happening.
Why do you drive in a lower gear?
This is due to the lower torque available to the rear wheels. In a lower gear, relative torque is increased and you will gain your higher speed faster with the same (or less) amount of throttle input, which means you can upshift your transmission and get your RPMs down again.
