Not sure if anyone can shed light on this?

Whenever i put it gear 5 at 50mph the car rev o meter is at 4000-5000, it should be at 2500, is this gearbox problems?

If so, how much would that set me back? Please not with Xmas as well LOLZ

Just gears 4 and 5.
Gears 123 are ok, i.e. Gear 2 @ 20mph 2500, Gear 3 @ 30mph however the rev does make some unordinary up down movments before settling to 2500ish for the first 3 gears.

does the engine sound at the right rpm tho?

most probably bad reading for interference.
unless your engine is racing at 50mph then you got a problem

aye, but the gear ratio in 5th cant alter can it, like if it was at 3000 rpm for say 60mph it wouldnt all of a sudden change to 5000rpm as thats not possible
