Re: [T3] Overrevving an automatic


> than 70kph, probably less.

	Ok, so 40-45mph, give or take.  If the tranny really went into
2nd, this isn't even close to over-revving anything.  If it went somehow
into first it would have really revved things up and made noise, or if it
somehow "disengaged" (I don't know if this is possible or likely), then
your engine may have revved up high, I suppose.

	I almost wrote something like this in my last post.  It was just
based on my driving experience and impressions; I don't know if it's
actually true, so I didn't suggest it.  My impression is that this is
correct.
