: Last Night me and a buddy were traveling on a local highway when someone decided to race me-I own a 89 325is that has been faithful for 3 years now-well anyways, as I was approaching the 130 mile an hour point all of a sudden the car felt like it went to nuetral and the rpm needle went all the way past 7 grand-now this has never happened before and I have had the car to 140 miles an hour at 5800 rpm and been just fine-any ideas because I have none-by the way the car is an automatic.TIA

Either it was attempting to leave overdrive and the transmission kinda got confused and just revved for a moment, thus hitting 7k because it was already so high. Or the transmission is going. Hope for the former.
