That rpm is typical for the O2J transmission..(5 speed manual) .....oh wait you have an O2M(automatic)....hmmmm lets see here....Actually by the bible (Bentley) the ratios on the final drive are fairly close..O2J is 4.235 and the O2M is slightly lower at 3.875 so really his car should rev lower...???? It's kind of missleading in the Bentley as it says in a note at the bottom of this table that the ratio listed in the table is only the final ratio for 1st though 4th(3.875) and 5th and 6th are 3.100....Soooooo in not... so short the OP's car should rev quite a bit lower....????? Before anyone comment's...No offence to the bible....or disrepect meant or implied....
