As to the tach, I'm getting worried now about it varying quickly like that. Need 6MT guys to speak up to confirm, but I think that's normal. I think it only happens when you hit the rev limiter so that you can give the engine a second to compose itself before you beat it up some more. It rises back up to normal within seconds (1-4 seconds or so). I would think guys who track their car have seen this, but if not, then I better get my car in for service.
Still need someone to address this please. I get the feeling no one else has seen it before??
