Is this normal? Every other gear seems to work fine, cruise controll is off 100% the car just trys to speed its self up. Only seems to speed up to 40mph.

To me that's not normal nor would be using 5th of 5 gears as low as 30 MPH. In that it somehow can gain speed from that it might be some fail-safe to NOT I call "lug" the engine. I'm not aware of such a thing but something like that might exist? Do you have owner's - operator's manual for this car? It might say it can and will do that but doubt it. Best I can do, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 23, 2021, 11:51 AM Post #3 of 3 (525 views) Re: 5th gear question Sign In Fifth gear at 30 MPH, it was probably just trying to stabilize the idle speed. That's way too high a gear to be in at that speed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
