As posted on general technical, speedo not working causes the 4500 rpm limit. Fix the speedo and that is one problem fixed!

ive had a few scoobies the only reason or should i say the real reason is that at some point the speedo has been un plugged for what ever reason, people get this problem think crap the engine is shot.......no no no, its a easy fix,on the right hand side of the gearbox is a speedo drive replace job done, trust me ive has this with a few subaru's
