I think you guys are right.  Looks like it was hitting the limit.  OK, I
feel pretty stupid.  Sorry, I've had the van for 14 years and have never hit
the limit. I guess I was just trying to keep up with rush hour traffic.

OK, so what you are saying is that my van has no problems at the moment
except a broken AC? I'm going to guy buy a scratch off ticket so I can get
the Big Brake Kit next. :)

Thanks,
Bryan

You should have hash marks on your speedo (not the spandex one) indicating
when to shift. Otherwise, 2nd gear near redline is indicated 38 mph in my
'84 Westy.
