You might want to chech the shift interupter switch to see if it might be
defective or stuck if your setup has one.

I wonder if that's the part that my mechanic was referring to. Is this what
prevents you from going into gear with the rpm's too high and located in the
throttle area? If so, that should be easily replaceable and not too
expensive, eh?

The shift interrupter switch cuts the ignition briefly when shifting
into gear to lessen the slamming when the shift dog engages. It
doesn't actually physically prevent the shift lever from being put
into gear at high RPM.

If the interrupter is acting up, it could concievably send spikes down
the tach wire and confuse the tach.
