However, tranny weakness started popping up the final few months I owned it.

Ok..you just brought up something I'm unsure of. The redlining/fuel cut-off. One day I was hauling ass in 1st and it spun up quick.. I was also giving a guy I was passing the finger so I had my hand off the shift lever.. so, I redlined on my '97 SE 5-speed and all of a sudden, nothing, the engine just cut out like the fuel was cut off.
This is built into the system? Is that what happens? Haven't hit that again but it felt very odd
I'm thinking this isn't a good thing to do, rev until fuel cutoff but I'd like to know if the max is going to save itself from catastropic meltdown.
Will make me feel better when pushing it if I know its limitations and safety features. :sun:
