yes, they work exactly like people say they do. i have an auto ecu in my car right now and have gone way past where the 5 speed ecu cuts you off. ---

Be aware however that it apparently removes the rev-limiter as well. ---

I don’t think there is a rev limiter… I hit 7k in 1st last week and it wasn’t stopping. One word of advice, if you have the auto ECU… dont misshift… EVER! ---

well i havent tried to go beyond… but… in 1 and 2 (in the automatic 1st gear, and then 1st gear, 2nd gear), i once was in 1 from a launch and well it goes up pretty fast in revs and i had 7000+rpm… it i think hit 7200rpm, it bounced and i was like oh crap… lol stupid. Also when in 2, if i floor it, it hits about 120km/hr in 2 at 7000rpm, i only took it to 7100rpm a few times, didn’t risk ever since, i never do this anymore, always let it be up to 6500rpm. Also in neutral as far if I remember there is also a rev limiter. Definetely no speed limiter though, although when in D, with overdrive it gets stuck at 5000-5500rpm, doesn’t get much faster heh… ---

Auto ECU’s with 5 speed do have rev limiters at like 7200RPM. ---
