when acceleration from zero the engine revs up to about 2000 rpm, then starts moving but the revs go up as well. After reaching 30 mph, the revs come back to normal.
I have automatic trans, and I noticed that each automatic gear change has first the extra revs before setting back to normal.
Any clues what's wrong with my MX6?
