Default 05 AP2 redline
The fuel suppose to cut off at 8200 RPM on 04-05 AP2. Will anything happen to the engine if you hit 8200 on 1st gear?
Anyone ??

did you just redline 1st gear or did you try to slam it into 3rd and accidentally slam it into 1st and over rev?

The rev limiter cuts the fuel, so no more power. It feels like someone yanks the car back. No damage if this occurs - mechanical overrev is the dangerous one.

Nothing will happen. You can redline in any gear as long as you're not downshifting when you're at 8200.

Anyone ??
same thing that will happen if you hit the limiter in any other gear, it will cut fuel. Remember, the stresses you feel in different gears are due to the transmission's ratios, not the motor.
