110 in 3rd gear? I'm no expert, but how healthy is this for the
tranny. I redline at about 85 in 3rd gear with the 3.21 gears. How
high of rpms is actually safe. I have heard you guys talking about
shifting at 5500 and 5700. That is way into the red. This may be a
stupid question, but it is a legit one. Thanks.
