High Revs, low speed, burning rubber smell

Asked by nadinemiller Dec 15, 2016 at 08:44 PM about the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer DE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I drive a manual 2013 Lancer.  When it idles in neutral the tachometer reads
1000.   When I shift, it shoots up between 4/5k.  When I'm in 5th gear and
apply a little pressure to the gas it shoots between 6/7k and I started smelling
burning rubber about 20 minutes into my drive.  It also tells me to upshift in 5th
gear even though I don't have a gear higher than 5th.

Thank you for your help!
