I think I once or twice hit that rpm limit in first, but never in second gear. My pads aren't glazed over just hella worn so I'll check that off my list. Still gonna replace em though. The brakes have been sticking a lot recently, so I'll try and fix that up as much as I can. Wheel bearings should be okay as well. How would I go about checking the transmission? As far as I could tell everything inside seemed alright last time I opened it up.
