Why is my engine rev so high while driving?
In automatic vehicles, transmission fluid is used to carry power from the engine to the transmission. It is also used to lubricate the various parts of your transmission system. If the transmission fluid begins to leak, your car will start to rev to higher levels (due to torque converter or gearbox band slippage).
Is it good to drive at high RPM?
If you wish to drive conservatively, it is best to keep your engine RPM as low as possible. Driving at a higher RPM will demand more fuel / emissions and cause the engine to work harder.
Why does my car over Rev when I’m driving?
Hi There, What you are describing may be a result of a faulty speed sensor, potentially low transmission fluid or a even a faulty transmission control solenoid. As your vehicle travels down the road, the computer analyzes data being sent by vehicle speed sensors and engine speed sensors.
Why does my car rev higher when I change gears?
In manual vehicles, the clutch interacts with your transmission system, allowing you to change gears. A slipping clutch will cause the engine to rev higher as the transmission struggles to work correctly. If your clutch is slipping, the clutch pedal will take much less pressure to engage.
Is the Mercedes-Benz 450SL a good car?
A damn fine ride. The 450sl is a cruise missile of a car, a true Grand Tourer capable of days of comfortable Autobahn travel… top up, or down, on or off. The interior is snug, though comfortable for both driver and passenger.

When did the Mercedes 450SL R107 come out?
Imagine it is thirty years in the future, 2039, and you are driving in a hard top convertible made in 2009. It has had three owners, and sports a healthy six-figures on the odometer. Would you expect it to leak, rattle, and/or squeak? Probably.
What was the price of a Mercedes 450SL in 1979?
This 450sl sold for around $32,000 in 1979, which adjusted for inflation is a Kia Rio shy of $110,000 in 2009. What did that kind of Carter-era cash get for you? A damn fine ride. The 450sl is a cruise missile of a car, a true Grand Tourer capable of days of comfortable Autobahn travel… top up, or down, on or off.
What makes a car turn 2500 rpm or 3000 rpm?
Most of the wear damage is already done by whoever failed to change the oil regularly enough in those 10 years, or ran low on oil, or used the wrong oil viscosity, etc. Whether it turns 2500 RPM or 3000 RPM on the highway is largely irrelevant.
Why is my car revving at high RPMs?
But, to answer your question… No, a clogged fuel filter would not explain an engine that is revving at high RPMs without the car moving at an appropriate speed. The most likely explanation would be a failing transmission if it is of the automatic variety, or a slipping clutch if it has a manual transmission.
