I hate the gov or rev limiter.

[soap]

I just got my ass handed to me by a 2011-2012 5.0
I pulled to his side. Dropped it in 2nd. Expecting to redline. Instead the fucking rev bullshit. Cut power off. I was not expecting that.

Anyway. Would bypassing the rev limiter void my warranty?

How fast were you going?

[white88]

So you were going too fast when you dropped it into second gear?

[NoClassic]

Any change to the factory tune has the potential to void the warranty if discovered

It sounds like you nearly mechanically over-revved the motor. Be careful.

X2, don't fuck with it. It probably saved you an engine. Do some reading on the damage that can be done with a mechanical overrev.

It's really easy to hit the limiter, even seeing the factory shift light flash. You just have to learn to watch the tach and shift before you hit 7k. If you don't have the shifter bracket yet, you should get one, or trying to find 3rd will get you as well. It just takes some getting used to.

I was doing about 45mph.

Im waiting on cj pony parts to send my parts out.
Orderd a barton bracket. TRI-AX shifter and one of those old school knobs that take two weeks to make.

I waited about 5 weeks for my MGW, which is ridiculous, but every shift is there now, especially 3rd, which disappears at high rpm/throttle without the bracket.

Let us know how the Tri-Ax is.

Will do. I was going to get the mgw. But wanted to save a little cash.

Sounds more like the traction control kicked in than the rev limiter. It will cut power the same way, if it feels a bit of slip in the rear wheels. Turn it off next time you try to race someone.

[BlackGT]

You sure it was the rev limiter and not the traction/stability control?

Yes. Because we did a 2nd run in 2nd gear. From a rolling 40mph tried to redline it. And it happens agin. That was the first time I ever tried to open it up.

[BradM]

Maybe it's a sign that you need to shift to 3rd?

Latemodel has the bracket in stock!!
