problem w/ speedo, revs, trans.

[97turbodsm]

alright first off my speedometer is doing some weird stuff. when driving say i'll be doing about 65mph but the speedo says i'm doin about 120. thats a problem. it does it all the time at all different speds, even while sitting still i can rev it and the speed willjump up to 20-40mph...while i'm parked!!

next problem...after th car is warm it won't let me rev any higher than about 4000rpm. it tries to but it seems like it just gets stuck. even when driving if i hit 4000rpm it'll buck and then settle out to normal. really a pain in the ass.

final problem...sometimes my trans is popping out of first gear from a stop. it used to be every now and again but now it's all the time. what could be the problem. drivetrain is all stock.

i just need to get it fixed ASAP.

thanks, Buddy

Probably a loose speed sensor plug, top of the gearbox.

Ignition wires and/or plugs.
