Tranny issue

I have not griven my svx in 2 months,so I took the car out for a spin last night.The car drives perfect until you try to pass my car won;t rev pass 4500 on a downshift but drive perfect when you are drive under 4000 rpm.It appears to have a new rev limit of 4500 strange because before I parked it the car rev to 7000.Now if i got the car in park no issue reving or in neutral,I am going to change my tranny fluid and filter first,any thoughts.

Re: Tranny issue

Does the engine run rough at all when the rpm are high?

Re: Tranny issue

After resetting the hand after a refill I think I was nearly empty.My gas needle was nearly a 1/4 of a tank off,my fuel indicator light is also blown.Car runs great now just got to tighten a few bolts here and there.Driving the svx is still a thrill because its such a headturner.I love my new Genesis but the svx got passion.

Re: Tranny issue


Are you saying that the ECU rev limits the engine if you are low on fuel? Or the TCU won't shift gear if you are low on fuel? How could either of these units know that you are low on fuel? Is there a wire from the fuel level sensor to either of these units?

Something new. I need to try when I am low on gas next time.

How is the genesis doing? The SVX has more interior space or the genesis coupe? I think SVX has more headroom for the back seats and trunk space than the genesis couple, correct? I like the genesis coupe, too.
