Transmission problem
1986 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 1xxxxx miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I had just recently had the 5spd transmission rebuilt at a local garage and now im having problems with my 5th gear.
The problem is, when im driving at regular speeds( around town) i can shift into 5th gear just fine.
But when i get on the highway and i shift into 5th gear there, the engine revs up high (3500 RPM) and it feels as if i had just shifted down to a lower gear, i gain speed, but i don't think my transmission is supposed to do that. Do you perhaps know the cause? Am I just not shifting at the right speed?
The Shift Speed stated in the owner manual sets the Shift-Up from 4th-5th at 45MPH and that's where i have been shifting.
