Shifting Past Redline?
i was bored so i decided to drive the car around a little harder than usual 
i got to a straightaway and floored it from about 10-20 mph.. kept my foot down at full throttle and initiated the kickdown. the rpms climbed as usual but it didnt shift up. the rpms went to about 6200 rpm before i noticed the car didnt shift and looked at the tach. i immedietly let off the gas and the tranny shifted when the rpms went down to about 5000 revs. why did this happen? at what rev is the rev limiter? i thought it was 6000.

Rev limiter while driving w202 should be right around 5600-5700 RPM's.

really? i always thought the rev limiter was a couple hundred rpm over the redline?
