Um, what did you do differently? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">
Here's the weird thing about mine. It ONLY hits the rev limiter with Nitto DR's. I have run it with both 16" and 17" Nitto DR's on it and it hits the limiter. It does NOT hit the limiter on ET Streets, BFG DR's, or on my Kumhos on the street. Figure that one out. I'm gonna make some passes in OD on my Nitto DR's this weekend in Eunice and see what happens.

Re: ST-3500 keep hitting the limiter!!!!!! I keep it in Overdrive, and checked the fluid. The fluid was down just a tad, so I added some and now it works great. The Overdrive thing helped the most!! Thanks everyone for all of the hlpe!! <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
Re: ST-3500 keep hitting the limiter!!!!!! I ended up having to have a trany rebuild. The increased pressure caused the bands and the drum to burn up. Went with a complete performance rebuild.

Re: ST-3500 keep hitting the limiter!!!!!! Only time I hit the limiter on the 2-3 shift is when I'm at the track. NEVER on the street. Only 1/8mile here so I'm hitting the limiter as I cross the line +/-.
ATAP goes to 6000-6100 in 2nd so I'm not sure if moving shift points would matter. ????
Always leave it in OD. For some reason my tranny acts like a manual when I manually shift it. I put it in 2nd and it starts off in 2nd. Weirdness. One run I decided to stick it in D on the line and I like to hold the shifter with one hand and drive with the other. I nailed it and the momentum pulled my hand back and into 2nd. It went from 1st to 2nd 5ft off the line. <img src="images/icons/frown.gif" border="0">
Fluid is good.

Re: ST-3500 keep hitting the limiter!!!!!! I have experienced the same thing.Through trial and error I've found that the OD thing definitely helps.It's now the only way I race.I bet $$ it's your TM interfearing. My problem is intermitent. It does feel like the rev limiter sometimes , but the scanner shows the timing drop out. This is whether it shifts @ 5900 or 6100. I have an 01' and the HPP3. I hope someone has an idea how to minimize the TM w/o reprogramming the PCM.

Re: ST-3500 keep hitting the limiter!!!!!! I finally got to the track on my Nittos and tried racing in OD and it worked for me as well! I know it helped because on my last pass, I forgot and left it in drive and it went straight to bouncing off the limiter on the 2-3 again.
I don't know why it works, but it definitely works. I gotta find someone bracket racing this weekend because my car was deadly consistent yesterday! I ran three 12.68 passes, one 12.69, one 12.73 when I hotlapped it, and one 12.84 when it hit the limiter on the last pass. Shows you how much it really does hurt your ET...
