Potential POWER mode problem
So recently ive been testing the POWER mode in my car and i was told its supposed to shift at 6.5 rpm's. Everytime i floor it the power light comes on and power mode engages but the rpm needle goes over 6.5 so i always let up on the gas and then it shifts. Other than that the car shifts normal but i dont know if i should be concerned or not. It doesnt really matter to me because i dont rev the car that high anyway. Just would like some of your input.

The car will automatically shift at redline. Don't worry about it.

Red lining it.
Dave is right.
I am pretty certain that the shift point for POWER mode in the auto is set for 6750, give or take a few. If yours is going this high or higher, then smile, you will be able to access more power for overtaking or top speed checks. There is a failsafe system to change up at the red line, so you can't do any harm anyway. Joe

Lets not forget that automotive gauges are not 100% accurate.....
