I'm kind of confused here. Do you have an issue with the RPM's your tach is reading. Or the MPH your speedometer is reading?

yea i checked the fluid levels, i whent to drive it earlier and it hits first gear good but when it comes time for second it wont hit it, the rpm keeps going up and if i was to keep it goign it will letearary go all the way up but the speed increases very slowly during second, but if it punch it it goes from 0 to 60 just fine then around 80-90 the gar just revs up and wont switch gears liek when u drive a M6 and u dont hit gears and just keep giving it gas..
