horse power loss around 3000rpms?

98 jeep wrangler with a 2.5 ltr 5 speed. I drove on the interstate this morning and didn’t really notice a severe change to the response in power. however this evening on my way to a club, i couldn’t get over 60 mph. with the exception of the lower gears 3000rpms is dificult to acheive. (typcal idles around 900rpms) in 4th and 5th gear around 2500 rpms is about as high as it will go. in addition to this while driving in 3rd gear and trying to go higher then 3000rpms the engine begins to sputter, but doesn’t die. when in nuetral or with the clutch depressed the engine will respond well to changes in the gas pedal. But with resistence to the engine the above results apply. having only a 2.5 ltr its never been a power house. but i only really had a problem doing 70-80 with heavy winds or the top off (different aerodynamics.) So i’m asking for hints for what to look for, or ideas to resolve the problem. thanks for reading and any help you may offer.

you were all wrong, so i’m putting it up to a vote. i discovered the problem is in my catalitc converter. the porcelyn had broken free and was clogging the exhaust smotthering the engine.
And to the guy that said i should check my tranny fluid…. FYI there isn’t a dip stick for 5 speeds, for the reason that they don’t need to be checked… only automatics need to be checked. thanks thou.

Where can proprietary motorcycle shaft-driven drive trains be purchased?

I am looking to purchase in larger quantities: water cooled V Twin or V4 motorcycle engines. This needs to include swing arm and instrument clusters and wiring harnesses. The horse power requirement is 110 to 140. I’m not interested in wrecked or used parts batches, but new from factory equipment.

If you have any information or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
Hey, guardrailjim, thanks for the answer. But do you have any contact information for them?

thanks again I appreciate it.

What would you think of highways made of conveyor belts — like at the airports along long corridors?

They could even be solar powered? Also, how about returning to using horses for transportation instead of cars. Cars are smelly too, and require extra care and feeding and a place to park. Don’t you think we’re all travelling, moving, thinking, living too fast any way? Any one care to brainstorm new ideas on fuel and travel? Would you be willing to be the first to use a horse to go to the store or to work or ???
