What's the problem? The machinery is simply trying to keep you from destroying your engine. You can probably break it if you REALLY try, but why would you? I can make any of my cars go well over the 5100 rpm limit by downshifting into a low gear at too high a speed, BUT THAT WOULD BE STUPID!

No kidding,:p
Understood, and I am certainly not trying to destroy the engine in my car; Good God, no!
At no load though, it IS set to about 5450.
