Higher RPM and transmission issue - ford car?
Hi
i have this higher rpm at start in my 10year old ford card… Where my rpm raises to 3000 at the time of start.
i now have a transmission problem and that requires rebuilt.
is ther a relation between this higher rppm at start issue and eventually failure in transmission,.
could the higher rpm issue might have caused the transmission failure.

Hi yes of course it is the clutch has worn out so it goes nowhere.
It sounds like you have two unrelated problems but both probably arose from neglected maintenance.
- What RPM should my car idle while driving and what RPM should I shift? I have a 2003 Ford Mustang V6. 5 speed manual transmission. This is not the first manual car I've owned, but I'm curious. I never really look but I've read in some places that in order to save gas you should shift at 2 RPM before I used to shift at around 3-3.5 RPM. Also what's a good RPM my car should idle at while I'm in gear? Let's say I'm driving in 3rd gear. What's the ideal RPM to stay at before needing to shift.
- 2012 Ford Fusion SE transmission issue? A while back I started driving from a complete stop and my car wouldn't shift to a higher gear. I pulled over, made sure I was in drive not low, put the car in neutral and attempted to drive again. It drove and shifted however the car seems to have less power and shifts later than before this happened. Any idea why this happened, and/or if I need to have a repair done and what that repair would be? The car has almost 87,000 miles.
- Ford Windstar 2002 rpm gage jump around then flip all the way over will this cause an issue? When driving the van didn't feel strange or nothing no jumping or anything Drove fine back home how to fix?
- 2004 Ford Focus, stick shift. When I take it out of gear at a stop light, into neutral, the RPM goes up to nearly 3,000 RPM. Why? When first starting the car, just leaving it neutral, the RPM stays around 2,000. IT only raises when driving, as described above
