“I was exiting the freeway after traveling 65 MPH for approximately 15 minutes. As I coasted up the exit ramp w/clutch in and foot off the gas the car revved to over 3000 rpms. By the time I stopped at the light at the end of the ramp by using the brake the car returned to idle after a second or two.”
