Hey guys, this has nothing to do with mustangs, but since i no theres a a few mechanics in here........my mom has a 98 plymouth voyager and when i was on the highway today ( i drive it enough to know it) the rpms will not climb past 2750 even when i put the pedal to the floor. It seems like it doesn't downshift but then before this I remember when you accelerate, there was a whining sound from the back off the car. It will pick up speed but very slowly and it never has done this before. Transmission has about 60k on it. What do u guys think this could be? thanks. oh and off the highway theres not a problem. It starts to happen when u get at about 70mph or 60.

Are you driving with the air brake on?

Chrysler products are not known for their reliability in the FWD transmission department or their brake department... Those are the two areas I'd be looking at first.

Check that the drums in the rear aren't hanging up.

Well since I don't do maitenance on my mother's car, its probably never been replaced ( or at least a long time ago it might of been replaced). I will check that out. Thanks for the replies. Any other ideas if that's not it?

could be possible, but usually they just quit.......if the filter is plugging of, it will restrict flow to the engine.............pretty cheap to replace...........hotwheels of insanemustangs.com
