All cars have a rev limiter unless you have changed the ECU.

Downshifting when you are already close to redline will allow you to blow up your motor if that is what you are going for.

um they could lock you out of the gear the way they do with reverse, but ive never heard of that. when you misshift the speed of the car forces the engine to rev to whatever rpm it it is going to be at in the gear you are selecting, like so:


if you put an rsx-s into 2nd around 80mph you land at 11000 rpms or so. same goes for any other car. nothing the car can do to stop it aside from not letting you rev higher(and blowing up in that guys case..lol)

that light is user customizable... basically set it to an RPM limit you want to shift at and it'll blink red when its getting close and then go solid after you've passed it.


Change it by cycling to the 3rd number on your trip meter
