so i looked under my steering rack and saw that there was some sort of oil that had leaked out of that little hole(with rust around it) why did that happen? could this be the problem in why i cant shift at higher rpms?

Interesting.

I have had RP in my tranny and diff since I got the car in 05, and never a problem.
