Could be a bad tach, bad speedo, or something is slipping. 3,800 should
get you 68 mph. If the tranny is slipping, get it fixed before you burn up
the works.

Subject: TACH READING AT 60 MPH ?

 MY 89 Vanagn Westy automatic reads  4000rpm on tach  at 60 MPH. Is that
normal?
Or is   something  slipping ?
I seem to remember    my '88 running   just a  little  over 3000rpm at the
same  speed; but  who can trust   a memory?
