RSX Won't go past 5500 RPM in drive
I've searched and seen one other person had this problem... it's a 02 RSX Type S and when trying to get on it... like at a light or something... It won't go past 5500... every now and then it has... but usually it pegs out like it's hitting the limiter. I understand this would be usual if in park but when trying to race????? Anyone know what could be causing this... thanks.

Hi. Yes. I'll tell you in a minute but first, Welcome to HAN.
You would have to have it in a lower gear than Drive in order to get it to rev higher, which I do not advise you to do by the way because it will probably do damage.
It's because of the way the tranny is designed to work. And I think the reason you have varying results is because of the terrain that you're driving on. I read somewhere that Acura put a special grade sensing thing in those auto transmissions.

Also, you said "when in drive" like you were talking about an automatic. And then later you said it was a 6 speed, which it should be if it's a type-s. (i didn't think they made any auto type s's).
I'm just curious, though, what does it exactly do when it "pegs out"?
