and it shouldn't..

but banging a hampsterwheel into it's Rev Limit still is bad for it...

thus the 5spd SHOULD HAVE COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH A TACH..

but toyota is cheap as FK...

I think if I put my A/T into "3" it just keeps climbing the rev ladder. I tried it but stopped since it seemed to keep going and going......

Get the part number for the S cluster.
or why bother? ive been driving without a tach for almost a year and i havnt had any problems. The car has a unique feel. the engine smooths out in the high RPM just before fuel cut. or 28-31 mph.

I have had no issues driving with music full blast balls to the wall.

also toyota is not cheep as fk. you get what you pay for. throughout the years mitsubishi, dodge, toyota, gm, all have been putting out cars with no rev limiters and no tachs.

No rev limiter and no tach? What if some retard over revs and blow the motor? Are they gonna cover it under warranty?

thats the power tapering off when you dont have mods...and that happens several hundred rpm before redline...

If you can't drive a MT without a tach you should not be driving....Its that simple.
