in an automatic transmission when it shifts the belts that hold the planetary gears that control the gear ratios grab the next gear before it releases the previous gear. while the transmission is in two gears at once the engine doesn't provide the power to the transmission so with the lack of tension on the motor it allows it to build up speed before it slows back down when the transmission releases the lower gear

What about a manual transmission? Is it normal for it to still do this same thing?

Why won't a car's engine rev over 2800 RPM?

In assumption that this question is referring to an automatic transmission a car's engine will not rev over 2800 rpm because when the car automatically shifts as the speed increases that is the usual rpm that the car shifts at. If the car's rpm is getting over 3000 rpm and still not shifting then your transmission is going out and needs to be checked. The autmoatic transmission is what shifts the gears for you. In a manual (shift, clutch) the person needs to shift around 2500 to 3000 rpm. The only reason someone would let the engine rev higher than that for a long period of time while driving manually would be on purpose to burn carbon build up on the pistons.

How do gear shifts work in a manual transmission vehicle?

In a manual transmission vehicle, gear shifts work by using a gear stick to change the position of gears inside the transmission. When the driver moves the gear stick, it engages different gears to control the speed and power of the vehicle. This allows the driver to shift between different gears to match the engine's speed with the desired driving conditions.
