Aye, but there's the rub.
We all know that there's a red line on the gauge, but what most don't realise is that there is a graph up in the roof that doesn't have a red line. But it does have a manifold limit.
I still contend that this graph is needed to preserve the integrity of the transmission. So does Frank Robinson.
