    I’ve noticed that after shifting gears in my 2006 PT Cruiser and continue driving that the engine has continued to rev up, is there a specific reason that this would happen. It doesn’t do it every time but like to fix it before it gets worse.

    It’s very possible that your transmission is slipping because the clutch plate is slipping due to excessive wear. If the plate is slipping, then it is quite possible for your PT Cruiser to overrev after you change the vehicle’s gears.

    It could also be a combination of a worn clutch throw-out bearing and a clutch plate wear that is also causing the problem. If this is the case, you are looking at about a $1,400 total repair for the two components.

    I would suggest starting with the clutch plate and moving onto the throwout bearing if fixing the first doesn’t solve the issue, but I think it will.
