Yep, I saw that in manual. The engine speed limitation clearly applies to the rotating parts that would rotate at that speed. What's behind the transmission is a different story though as that's directly coupled to vehicle speed through a fixed ratio. Meaning, the driveshaft will be spinning much faster in 4th gear than it would in 1st at 5500rpms. That might be why there are two constraints: one on the engine speed and another on vehicle speed. But I am just guessing...
